Selecting the Best RAID Level
When you create arrays (or logical drives) for the Sun StorageTek SAS RAID Internal
HBA, you can assign a RAID level to protect your data.
Each RAID level offers a unique combination of performance and redundancy. RAID
levels also vary by the number of disk drives they support.
This appendix describes the RAID levels supported by the Sun StorageTek SAS RAID
Internal HBA, and provides a basic overview of each to help you select the best level
of protection for your storage system.
