RAID specifications
D: Data drive, P: Parity drive.
Although the storage system with a configuration of RAID 1, RAID 5, or RAID 6 provides
data reliability enhanced by redundancy, there is a chance that user data could be lost
due to an unexpected host, storage system hardware, or software failure. Therefore,
users are requested to back up all data.
