Adaptec Storage Manager Pro User's Guide Stripe Set of RAID 5 Sets (RAID 0/5) RAID technology allows you to create arrays that contain other arrays. (Also known as multilevel arrays.) A stripe set of RAID 5 sets is an array made up of two or more equal-sized RAID 5 sets. The data in a stripe set of RAID 5 sets is redundant. Figure A-8 represents a stripe set of RAID 5 sets created from two equal-sized RAID 5 sets (A and B) and striped across six drives. Each RAID 5 set is made up of three equal-sized partitions on three separate drives. The free space of the larger drive is not used. Stripe Set of RAID 5 Sets 16 GB Chunks 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9... RAID 5 Set A 8 GB Chunks 1,3,5,7... RAID 5 Set B 8 GB Chunks 2,4,6,8... Drive 1 Partition A 4 GB Chunks 1,7,P*,13... *P = Parity Drive 2 Partition B 4 GB Chunks 3,P*,9,15... Drive 3 Partition C 4 GB Chunks P*,5,11,P*... Drive 4 Drive 5 Partition A Partition B 4 GB 4 GB Chunks Chunks 2,8,P*,14... 4,P*,10,16... Figure A-8. Stripe set of RAID 5 sets Drive 6 Partition C 4 GB Chunks P*,6,12,P*... Free Space The stripe set of RAID 5 sets is the top-level array, and RAID 5 sets A and B are the underlying arrays. Other types of multilevel arrays exist, though the stripe set of mirror sets offers the best redundancy of any array type. ❒ A-12
