Determining your configurationwww.3ware.com 33Figure 13. Create Disk Array Display, RAID 0 ExampleFigure 14. Create Disk Array Display, RAID 5 ExampleSelect RAID configurationThe Escalade ATA RAID Controller gives you a choice of four RAID config-urations. Select one.■ Stripe (RAID 0): maximizes performance and capacity through a processcalled striping. High performance arrays write portions of a single fileacross multiple drives. There is no fault tolerance.■ Mirror (RAID 1): duplicates or “mirrors” the data on both drives. No datawill be lost if one of the drives fails. Note that a RAID 1 cannot be used tomake a backup copy of an existing drive. Creating a RAID 1 erases alldata on both disks.C r e a t e D i s k A r r a yHelpAlt-F1 Change ValueEnterPrevious/NextNote: Creating an array will overwrite existing data on its drives.Create a disk array from these drives:Port 0 - QUANTUM FIREBALLP LM30 30.0GBPort 1 - QUANTUM FIREBALLP LM30 30.0GBSelect RAID Configuration:Array's Write Cache State:Stripe (RAID 0)enableCancelOKCancelEscStripe Size: 64 KB128KB256KB512KB1mbC r e a t e D i s k A r r a yHelpAlt-F1 Change ValueEnterPrevious/NextNote: Creating an array will overwrite existing data on its drives.Create a disk array from these drives:Port 1 - IBM-DTLA-387815 512 MPort 2 - IBM-DTLA-387815 512 MPort 3 - IBM-DTLA-387815 512 MSelect RAID Configuration:Array's Write Cache State: enableCancelOKCancelEscStripe Size: 64 KBRAID 5
