Some possibilities for making use of hot spares can include:
• A 2-drive mirrored array with 2 hot spare drives. This allows for triple drive fault
tolerance before the array would be set offline.
• A 4 drive RAID 0+1 with 1 hot spare drive.
• A 3, 4 or 5 drive RAID 3 array with 1 hot spare for double fault tolerance under
RAID 3.
• A 3, 4 or 5, drive RAID 5 array with 1 hot spare for double fault tolerance under
RAID 5.
