About RAID Spanned Volume A spanned volume is created by joining, or concatenating, two or more drives. The drives do not have to be of equal capacity and are connected end-to-end. A spanned volume offers no redundancy and no performance advantage over a single drive. RAID 0 A RAID 0 is created by - Asus Adaptec 2020 ZCR | User Manual - Page 146
About RAID 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. An example of a RAID 1 array is shown below. RAID 1 Drive Data 0 Data 1 Data 2 Data 3 Drive Data 0 Data 1 Data - Asus Adaptec 2020 ZCR | User Manual - Page 147
About RAID Using parity minimizes the storage cost of redundancy. Because only one drive is used to store parity, a three-drive array, which is the worst case, uses only one-third of the total capacity for redundancy. In larger arrays, the storage cost of redundancy decreases proportionately RAID 5 - Asus Adaptec 2020 ZCR | User Manual - Page 148
