الأسئلة الشائعة
Which RAID level gives most capacity?
RAID 0 gives full capacity but no redundancy. RAID 5 offers a good balance of capacity and protection.
How many drives can fail in RAID 6?
RAID 6 can tolerate 2 simultaneous drive failures.
What is RAID 10?
RAID 10 mirrors drives in pairs (RAID 1) then stripes across pairs (RAID 0), requiring minimum 4 drives.
