RAID 0, 1, 3, 5, 6, 10, 50
In addition to the usual RAID levels, the MSA 1040 features several important additional levels. RAID 6
is the highest level of RAID protection. It allocates two sets of parity data across drives and allows
simultaneous write operations. It can withstand two simultaneous drive failures without downtime or
data loss. RAID 10 is mirroring and striping without parity. RAID 50 combines the block striping and
parity of RAID 5 with the straight block striping of RAID 0, yielding higher performance than RAID 5
through the addition of RAID 0, particularly during writes.
Performance
The preliminary performance figures provided here are for your reference as many variables exist
between array configurations, workloads, hard drive types, vdisk setup parameters and host system
setup. All Performance information is measure using Linear Storage.

NOTE: 1) SSD’s were used in a dual controller configuration of 4 vdisks consisting of two disks per
vdisk and 1 volume per host. 4
hosts directly attached to the HPE MSA 1040 array were used in this
test configuration (results cannot be expected with a single host).
