Dell iDRAC8 manual RAID Level 60 Striping Over RAID 6 Sets

RAID 50 characteristics:

•Groups n*s disks as one large virtual disk with a capacity of s*(n-1) disks, where s is the number of spans and n is the number of disks within each span.

•Redundant information (parity) is alternately stored on all disks of each RAID 5 span.

•Better read performance, but slower write performance.

•Requires as much parity information as standard RAID 5.

•Data is striped across all spans. RAID 50 is more expensive in terms of disk space.

RAID Level 60 (Striping Over RAID 6 Sets)

RAID 60 is striping over more than one span of physical disks that are configured as a RAID 6. For example, a RAID 6 disk group that is implemented with four physical disks and then continues on with a disk group of four more physical disks would be a RAID 60.
