What RAID modes are available and which one should I choose?
The RocketStor 6414TS supports RAID 0 for maximum speed, RAID 1 for simple mirroring, RAID 5 for a balance of speed and data safety, RAID 10 for high performance with redundancy, and JBOD for independent disks. Choose RAID 5 for general reliability and capacity.
