About RAID
A RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) provides better
performance and reliability from combinations of drives than is
possible with the same total storage space without RAID.
This
Appendix
describes the various RAID levels supported by ICP
RAID controllers.
The table below shows the number of drives needed and
supported for your controller according to RAID level.
Note:
Select RAID drives of equal capacity and performance.
Otherwise, the RAID is limited in capacity and performance
to that of the smallest and slowest drive.

A simple volume consists of a single drive.
