Working with RAID A redundant array of independent disks (RAID) is a disk storage configuration that increases performance or data redundancy. There are four basic RAID levels discussed in this section. NOTE: RAID requires multiple hard drives. The number of hard drives required varies depending on the RAID configuration. • RAID level 0 is recommended for higher performance (faster throughput). • RAID level 1 is recommended for users who need a high level of data integrity. • RAID level 0+1 is recommended for higher performance and data integrity • RAID level 5 is recommended for higher performance and fault tolerance. FOR MORE INFORMATION: Your computer may support other RAID levels (5, 10, 50). For information about these levels, see support.dell.com. RAID Level 0 NOTICE: RAID level 0 provides no redundancy. Therefore, a failure of one drive results in the loss of all data. Perform regular backups to protect your data. Drives and Media 83
