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 allowing you to connect standalone disk drives (such as a system disk) to the controller without making them members of a RAID set.
