Those that are concerned with data integrity have likely heard of RAID 1, mirroring. It’s generally slower as the data needs to be written onto both disks. With RAID 5 you get the advantage of speed and redundancy. Total storage is the combined total number of all disks minus one as redundancy where parity is distributed over all disks in the array. RAID 5 is perhaps the cheapest way to boost hard disk performance while keeping data safe.

The peak speed was 120MB/s with an overall average of 48MB/s. This is considerably slower than JBOD and RAID 0. However, for those looking for make the most of the FiT 300’s three drive system with some form of reliability that RAID 0 doesn’t have, the drop in performance may be worth it. The peak Re-Writer result was 182MB/s with an average of 134MB/s.
