2.4 Flexible RAID Set Configuration

In addition to its flexible hardware design, the controller’s firmware offers the

user the flexibility to configure RAID sets in several different ways:

•

RAID sets can comprise drives from any drive channel and SCSI ID.

•

A RAID set can contain all the drives connected to the controller, a single

drive, or any number of drives in between.

•

The controller supports RAID Levels 0, 1, 0+1, 4, and 5. It also supports

JBOD (Just a Bunch of Drives), allowing you to connect standalone disk

drives (such as a system disk) to the controller without making them mem-

bers of a RAID set.
