RAID 5 (Protected)

G-SPEED Q ships in RAID 5 mode. RAID 5 is great for protection and security of data, however, its storage capacity is reduced. This makes it ideal for sensitive data rather than large amounts. In RAID 5, your G-SPEED Q will be at 75% of its total capacity.

RAID 0 (Performance)

RAID 0 offers better performance mode and 100% storage capacity.
