3 RAID 0+1 (Stripe Mirroring) RAID 0 drives can be mirror ed using RAID 1 techniques, resulting in a RAID 0+1 solution for improved performance plus re siliency. The controller combines the performance of data striping (RAID 0) and the fault tolerance of disk mirroring (RAID 1).
4 3. Please verify the status of your ha rd disks before you set up your new RAID array. WARN ING!! Please backup y our data first before you create RAID functions. In the process you create RAID, the sy stem will ask if y ou w ant to “Clear Disk Data” or not.
