Addonics Technologies RR2035ASDML User Manual
RAID 3 (Stripe set with dedicated parity)
Number of drives: at least 3
Unit capacity: size of one member times number of members minus one.
Spares: yes
Fault tolerance: can withstand the loss of one drive without losing data.
RAID 3 works by striping data for individual I/O blocks across all members
except one, which contains parity data for the stripe set computed by the
Port Multiplier.
RAID 5 (Stripe set with striped parity)
Number of drives: at least 3
Unit capacity: size of one member times number of members minus one.
Spares: yes
Fault tolerance: can withstand the loss of one drive without losing data.
RAID 5 works by striping entire I/O blocks across all members of the set,
with each member taking turns carrying parity data computed by the Port
Multiplier.
CLONE (Mirror set)
Number of drives: at least 2
Unit capacity: size of one member.
Spares: yes
Fault tolerance: can withstand the loss of any number of drives without
losing data as long as at least one complete member remains online.
CLONE mode works the same way as RAID 1, by maintaining a complete
copy of the entire set of data on each drive.
LARGE (Spanned set)
Number of drives: at least 2
Unit capacity: 100% of all drives together regardless of differences in size
Spares: no
Fault tolerance: cannot withstand the loss of any drives without losing data.
However, some data may be recovered as long as the drive(s) carrying the
file system data (boot record, directory, etc.) remain online.
LARGE mode is neither a RAID nor is it a JBOD. It works by declaring the
sum of all available space of the member drives as a single unit, without
striping the data. As each member is filled, new data is stored on the next.
