Chapter 5 NVIDIA RAID Introduction

NF4K8AB Series User Manual

Summary of RAID Configurations

RAID Arrays

This section describes the following types of RAID arrays that NVIDIA RAID

supports:

• RAID 0

RAID 0 defines a disk striping scheme that improves the disk read and write

times for many applications.

• RAID 1

RAID 1 defines techniques for mirroring data.

• RAID 0+1

RAID 0+1 combines the techniques used in RAID 0 and RAID 1 arrays.

• Spanning (JBOD)

JBOD provides a method for combining drives of different sizes into one large

disk.
