2.5 RAID 10
A RAID 10 array uses four hard drives to create a combination of RAID levels 0 and 1. It is a striped set whose
members are each a mirrored set.
The following table provides an overview of the advantages, the level of fault-tolerance provided and the typical
usage of RAID 10.
RAID 10 Overview
Hard D r i ve s
R e qu i r e d :
4
Ad va n t a g e :
Combines the read performance of RAID 0 with the fault-tolerance
of RAID
1.
F a u l t - t o l e r a nc e :
Excellent – disk mirroring means that all data on one disk is
duplicated on another disk.
App li c a t i on :
High-performance applications requiring data protection,
such as video editing. Not available in mobile configurations.
2.6 Matrix R A I D
Matrix RAID allows you to create two RAID volumes on a single RAID array.
As an example, on a system with an Intel® 82801GR I/O controller hub (ICH7R), Intel® Rapid Storage
Technology allows you to create both a RAID 0 volume as well as a RAID 5 volume across four Serial ATA
hard drives.
