E About RAID A RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) provides better performance and reliability from combinations of drives than is possible with the same total storage space without RAID. This Appendix describes the various RAID levels supported by Adaptec RAID controllers. The table below shows the number of drives needed and supported for your controller according to RAID level.
