Management & Protection Speed (RAID 0) Preconfigured performance mode provides disk striping across all drives in the RAID drive group. RAID 0 does not provide data redundancy but does provide the best performance of any RAID levels. RAID 0 breaks up data into smaller segments and stripes the data segments across each drive in the drive group to maximize capacity. Data protection (RAID 1) Set the system to data protection mode (also known as mirrored mode) and the capacity is divided in half. Half of the capacity is used to store your data and half is used for a duplicate copy offering twice the protection. If one drive goes down your data is protected because you have a second copy on the other drive. JBOD JBOD is the use of one or more drives not in a RAID configuration but managed as separate logical volumes. Hardware RAID True hardware RAID provides an independent CPU to manage RAID volumes and eliminates strain from the host system CPU providing optimal drive speed and performance.
