+RAID0+1

RAID0+1 is a set of mirrored RAID0 arrays. This configuration offers high transfer rate, fault tolerance similar to RAID5, but sacrifices storage capacity.

 

+RAID10

RAID10 is a set of striped RAID1 arrays. This configuration offers high transfer rate, fault tolerance similar to RAID1, but sacrifices storage capacity.

 

+RAID30

RAID30 is a set of striped RAID3 arrays. This configuration offers maximum redundancy & performance, but sacrifices storage capacity.

 

+RAID50

RAID50 is a set of striped RAID5 arrays. This configuration offers maximum redundancy & performance, but sacrifices storage capacity.

 

+RAIDN or NRAID

NRAID combines the capacity of all drives to form one logical drive. Unlie RAID0, there is no striping. Unlike JBOD, the array does not treat each drive independently.

 

+RAIDTP or Triple Parity

RAID level TP: “Disk Striping with Triple Distributed Parity”

Similar to Raid 5 and 6, Raid TP stripes data across drives, but calculates for three parities that are written to three individual disks.

Raid TP uses three indepdendent equations to calculate each individual parity that enable reconstruction of data when three disks and/or blocks fail at the same time.

Raid TP adds an extra level of redundancy to help protect your data.

Recommended Applications
• Enterprise Storage
• Disk to Disk Backup
• Performance Driven HD video streaming applications
• Fixed content backup or archiving
• Regulation Compliance Storage
• Disaster recovery Storage

*RAID level TP requires a minimum of 4 drives.

RAID Expansion

A feature that allows drives to be added to an existing RAID array without a power down or reconfiguration. Also known as "on the fly" RAID expansion.

 

RAID Migration

A feature that allows the change of a RAID level to another level without powering down the system.
