Matrix RAID Volumes for Single RAID Arrays
Matrix RAID allows you to create two RAID volumes on a single RAID array. The RAID level combinations available for each I/O controller hub are listed below:
| Drive Combination | 2-drive RAID 0 | 2-drive RAID 1 | 3-drive RAID 0 | 3-drive RAID 5 | 4-drive RAID 0 | 4-drive RAID 5 | 4-drive RAID 10 | 5-drive RAID 0 | 5-drive RAID 5 | 6-drive RAID 0 | 6-drive RAID 5 |
