Part1–WhatisaBootRAID?

ABootRAIDissettingupaRAIDarray(0,1,5,10orJBOD)ontheRocketRAID

eSATA6GseriescontrollerthencloningtheonboardMacOSXbootdrivetothe

RAIDarraythenbootingMacOSXfromtheRAIDarray.

RAIDarraysoffersadvantagesofperformanceandprotectionwithredundancy.

RAIDBasics?

RAIDstandsforRedundantArrayofIndependentDrives.Thismeanstaking

multiplematchingdrivesandarrangingthemtogethertoachievelargestorage

space,speed,dataprotection,oranycombinationofthethree.TheRocketRAID

eSATA6GseriescontrollersupportsthefollowingRAIDtypes:

RAID0“Stripe”

Speed:Dataisalternatedacrosstwoormoredrivestogainspeedbyessentially

distributingtheworkload.

Protection:Nobuilt‐inprotection.

Capacity:Usablespaceisthecombinedcapacityofallthedrives.

RAID5“Stripe&Protection”

Speed:DataisstripedlikeinaRAID0,sosignificantspeedgainsareseen.

Protection:Utilizesmathematicalparitytoachievedataprotectionwhiletakingup

aminimumofspace.Onedrivecanfailandalldatawillstillbeaccessible.

Capacity:Allbutonedriveworthofcapacityisusable.Minimumthreedrivesare

neededtocreateaRAID5array.InathreedriveRAID5array,thereistwodrives

worthofusablespace.

CombinedRAIDs:RAID10

Speed:CombinesmultipleRAID1orRAID5setsbyusingRAID0“Striping”togain

speed.

Protection:TherearetwoRAID1“Mirrored”setsusedinordertotolerate1‐2

drivesfailingdependingonwhichdrivestheyare.

Capacity:Usablespaceishalfofthecombinedcapacityofallthedrivesused

RAID1“Mirror”

Speed:Nospeedbenefitsgained.

Protection:Onedrivecanfailandalldatawillstillbeaccessible.

Capacity:Onedriveworthofusablespaceoutofthetwototaldrivesused.

JBOD(IndependentDriveModes)

Speed:Nosignificantspeedgains.

Protection:Nobuilt‐indataprotection.

Capacity:InJBODmode,thecapacitiesarecombined.Whensetupasindependent

drives,eachdrivepresentsitsstatedcapacityforuse.
