RAID MODES

A Redundant Array of Independent (or Inexpensive) Disks (RAID) is a system that utilizes

multiple hard drives to share or replicate data among the disks. The benefit, depending on the

selected RAID Mode (combinations of disks), is one or more of the following: increased data

integrity, fault-tolerance, and throughput or capacity when compared to single drives.

Deleting the current partition prior to changing RAID modes is highly recommended.

Using identical HDDs with the same capacity and RPM, and from the same

manufacturer is highly recommended for best capacity utilization.
