		<description><![CDATA[<p>I don&#8217;t need the redundancy of RAID five and want more usable disk space. Can I configure the NAS 4000 Series without RAID 5? </p>
<p>Yes, you can the NAS 4000 Series for JBOD (just a bunch of disks), spanned, spanned and mirrored, or striped disk configurations.</p>

<blockquote><p>RAID5 is based on parity so is called as Parity RAID. It checks data using parity.

<blockquote><p>RAID5 is based on parity so is called as Parity RAID. It checks data using parity. There is no dedicated drive here like RAID level 3 &amp; 4, so parity information is distributed among all drives. So it is known as rotating parity array. It requires minimum three drives for implementation &amp; no. of logical drives is one less then that of physical drives.      </p>

<blockquote><p>Well, I do not wish to confuse any further <img title="Smile" alt="" src="http://www.crazyengineers.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" border="0" />, but you can have parity RAID on a single drive in RAID5 as well. Add Mirroring to this configuration and you can support upto 2 of those 5 hdds going down.</p>

<blockquote><p>Is having parity on a single drive are not property of RAID3 and RAID4?</p>
<p>Add Mirroring to this configuration and you can support upto 2 of those 5 hdds going down.</p>
<p>What kind of mirroring are you thinking to do to support up to 2 hard disk fail overs? Probably mirroring parity disk in your case may not serve the purpose. Mirroring the data drives can solve the purpose, but it will lead to how ratio of ECC (Parity) disks to data disks means low efficiency, whereas the main advantage of RAID5 is low ratio of ECC (Parity) disks to data disks means high efficiency.</p>
