RAID Levels
The record mode enabling the RAID feature includes several levels. Among the levels, the Onboard
RAID Controller (MegaRAID ROMB) supports RAID levels 0, 1, and 5. The number of hard disk
drives required to create a disk group varies depending on the RAID level as shown in the table
below.
Number of required HDDs

RAID 0 1 4
RAID 1 2 2
RAID 5 3 4
NOTE: For details of the RAID levels, see "RAID Levels" described
later in this chapter.
Disk Group
A disk group is configured with more than one HDDs.
The allowable number of disk groups is equal to the number of HDDs.

RAID Controller (MegaRAID ROMB), creating one disk group (DG).
