MSI MEG X570S UNIFY-X MAX User Manual

RAID Configuration
The introduction of RAID levels and types are as below:
RAID 0 breaks the data into blocks which are written to separate hard drives.
Spreading the hard drive I/O load across independent channels greatly
improves I/O performance.
RAID 1 provides data redundancy by mirroring data between the hard drives and
provides enhanced read performance.
RAID 10 uses four hard drives to create a combination of RAID 0 and 1 by forming a
RAID 0 array from two RAID 1 arrays.
RAID level comparison
RAID 0 RAID 1 RAID 10
Minimum # drives 2 2 4
Data protection None Excellent Excellent
Read performance Excellent OK OK
Write performance Excellent Good Good
Capacity utilization 100% 50% 50%
