P2000 G3 Smart Array Systems - RAID 0, 1, 3, 5, 6, 10, 50:
In addition to the usual RAID levels, the P2000 G3 features several important additional levels. RAID 6 is
the highest level of RAID protection. It allocates two sets of parity data across drives and allows
simultaneous write operations. It can withstand two simultaneous drive failures without downtime or data
loss. RAID 10 is mirroring and striping without parity. It is the most popular of the multiple RAID levels,
allowing large arrays with high performance in most cases and superior fault tolerance. RAID 50
combines the block striping and parity of RAID 5 with the straight block striping of RAID 0, yielding
higher performance than RAID 5 through the addition of RAID 0, particularly during writes.
