1.2 RAID Overview

This section provides a brief overview of the types of RAID configurations

that Embedded MegaRAID Software supports.

The first step in creating a RAID storage configuration is to configure

physical disk drives in arrays. As defined for Embedded MegaRAID

Software, an array is a group of one to eight physical disks that is seen

by the host computer system as one large disk drive, or logical drive.

Only one RAID level can be assigned to each array.

• A RAID 0 array consists of one to eight physical drives.
