Flexible Storage and Redundancy
DriveStation Ultra provides users the flexibility to easily maximize capacity or protect their data using RAID redundancy.

• RAID 0 combines all drives into a single array offering maximum storage capacity with no redundancy.
• RAID 5 stripes the data across all six drives, interspersing parity data to provide an efficient blend of fault tolerance and storage capacity
• RAID 6 uses two parity stripes per hard drive, allowing two hard drives to fail without any data loss
