CHAPTER 4: Installing Components Configuring your onboard RAID solution Your server comes equipped with an onboard chipset for a SATA RAID solution, which supports RAID levels 0 (striping), 1 (mirroring), 5 (distributed data and parity), and 10 (RAID 0 + 1). You enable the onboard RAID solution in the BIOS (See "RAID Setup" on page 76) and configure RAID by launching the appropriate RAID BIOS console during the boot process. Configuring the onboard SATA RAID solution Level 0 1 5 10 Description and use Pros Data divided into blocks and distributed sequentially (pure striping). Use for non-critical data that requires high performance. Data duplicated on another disk (mirroring). Use for read-intensive, fault-tolerant systems. High data throughput for large files. 100 percent data redundancy, providing fault tolerance. Stripes data at a block level across several drives and distributes parity among the drives. No single disk is devoted to parity. Fast and redundant A combination of RAID 1 and RAID 0. Raid 0 is used for performance, and RAID 1 is used for fault tolerance. Fast and redundant Cons No fault tolerance. Data is lost if a drive fails. More disk space required. Reduces usable disk space to the size of the smallest drive. Reduced performance during rebuilds. More disk space required. Reduces usable disk space to 75% of total storage in the disk array. An additional drive required. Number of Fault drives Tolerant One or two No (on this server) Two Yes Three Yes Four Yes 28
