Appendix A: RAID Concepts

RAID is an acronym that stands for Redundant Array of Independent Disks. It is

divided into different numbered Levels. The numbers of these Levels do not

mean that one Level is higher or better than another. Each Level has its own

advantages and shortcomings.

PAM allows you to select the RAID Level when you create an Array. The

available RAID Level selection depends on which Promise product you have

and the number of disk drives available. The table below lists the options.
