Drives are paired and mirrored. All data is
100% duplicated on an equivalent drive. Fully
redundant. RAID 1 if use 2 drives; RAID 10 if
use 4 drives.

Large is similar to RAID 0 in that it
concatenates the capacity of all member drives.
The data is written linearly starting with the
first disk drive. When first disk drive becomes
full, the next disk drive is used. Large can have
2 or more disk drives. There is no data
redundancy.

3 1
Data is striped across several physical drives.
Parity protection is used for data redundancy.
