Setting up RAID RAID 10 (also called RAID 1+0 or RAID 1&0) contains sets of RAID 1 mirrors acting as drives within a RAID 0 striping array. With this setup, the array could survive one drive failure in each mirror array. RAID 1 RAID 0 RAID 1 A A C C E E B B D D F F Drawback A RAID 5 array is treated as one drive with the capacity all but one of the drives added together. RAID 10 treats the entire array as a single drive with the storage capacity of the smallest drive × 2. So if you have four drives (350 GB, 300 GB, 250 GB, and 200 GB) in a RAID 10 array, your computer recognizes a single drive with 400 GB total capacity. Preparing your computer for RAID Setting up RAID on your computer can involve three major steps, depending on how your computer has been configured. To prepare your computer for RAID: 1 Configure the RAID arrays. See the Array Manager User Guide, or "Configuring RAID" on page 40. 2 Install the operating system. 39
