RAID Level 1+0: striping, mirror spans two drives

RAID Level 1+0 increases data transfer rates while ensuring security by writing the exact same data simultaneously to two or more different drives.

RAID Level 1+0 is used in applications requiring high performance and redundancy, combining the attributes of RAID Levels 1 and 0.

The ATTO FastStream supports an even number of 4 to 16 drives per RAID Level 1+0 group.

RAID Level 4: striping, one parity drive

RAID 4 writes data across multiple drives or devices (striping) with parity blocks written to a single drive in the RAID group. This increases reliability while using fewer drives than mirroring.

RAID Level 4 is best suited for applications that perform mostly sequential access such as video applications.

You must have at least three drives to set up RAID Level 4.

RAID Level 5: striping, parity distributed among drives

RAID Level 5 increases reliability while using fewer drives than mirroring by using parity redundancy: parity is distributed across multiple drives.

The ATTO FastStream supports 3 to 16 drives per RAID Level 5 group.
