The number of physical drives in a specific RAID set determines the RAID
levels that can be implemented with the RAID set.
RAID 0 requires one or more physical drives per RAID set.
RAID 1 requires at least 2 physical drives per RAID set.
RAID 1+ Spare requires at least 3 physical drives per RAID set.
RAID 3 requires at least 3 physical drives per RAID set.
RAID 5 requires at least 3 physical drives per RAID set.
RAID 6 requires at least 4 physical drives per RAID set.
