About RAID A RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) provides better performance and reliability from combinations of drives than is possible with the same total storage space without RAID. This Appendix describes the various RAID levels supported by the Adaptec Serial ATA RAID 1420SA controller - Adaptec 2170200-R | User Guide - Page 57
of the total capacity is available. RAID 1 offers no write performance advantage over a simple volume configuration. However, because the drives share read load equally, RAID 1 provides improved read performance. Following is an example of a RAID 1 array.
