*** For more information about RAID levels and why RAID6 and RAID10 are preferable over RAID5, see https://www.prepressure.com/library/technology/raid.
*** To calculate the space you will need, you can use an online RAID calculator.
*** Configure RAID6 or RAID10 with at least one hot spare is recommended.
*** RAID is not a substitute for a backup and DR testing.
