Drawback
A RAID 5 array is treated as one drive with the capacity of all
but one of the drives added together.
RAID 10 treats the entire array as a single drive with the
storage capacity of the smallest drive × 2. So if you have four
drives (350 GB, 300 GB, 250 GB, and 200 GB) in a RAID 10
array, your computer recognizes a single drive with 400 GB
total capacity.
Preparing your computer for RAID
Setting up RAID on your computer can involve two major
steps, depending on how your computer has been configured.
To prepare your computer for RAID:
1
Configure the RAID arrays. See the Array Manager User
