RAID Solutions made easy!

An essential element of the data availability architecture is RAID. With a RAID configuration, you can achieve redundancy, lower latency, higher bandwidth for reading or writing, and recoverability from hard-disk crashes. Following our recent webinars, showing different RAID solutions, we decided to put together helpful RAID resources for you. With them, it will be easy to set up different RAID configurations using our data storage software Open-E DSS V7.

RAID levels explained:

• RAID 1, RAID 1+0 and RAID 0+1
• RAID 2, RAID 3, RAID 4
• RAID 5
• RAID 5, RAID 6, RAID 5E, RAID 5EE
