Support for RAID 0, RAID 1, and RAID 5 Disk Configurations

The Solstice DiskSuite software designed for use with the system provides the ability to configure system disk storage in a variety of different RAID levels. You choose the appropriate RAID configuration based on the price, performance, and reliability/availability goals for your system.

RAID 0 (striping), RAID 1 (mirroring), RAID 0+1 (striping plus mirroring) and RAID 5 configurations (striping with interleaved parity) can all be implemented using Solstice DiskSuite. You can also configure one or more drives to serve as "hot spares" to fill in automatically for a defective drive in the event of a disk failure.

For more information about RAID configurations, see "About Disk Array Configurations and Concepts".
