The D5 Thunderbolt 3 features a hardware RAID controller supporting multiple RAID levels to optimize for speed, capacity, or data redundancy.

Сүрөттүн сүрөттөлүшү: A graphic depicting a cylindrical data storage unit with labels for RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 10, and JBOD, emphasizing the hardware RAID controller.

Supported RAID modes include:

• RAID 0 (Striping): Maximizes performance and capacity by striping data across all drives without redundancy.
• RAID 1 (көзгө түшүрүү): Provides data redundancy by mirroring data across two drives.
• RAID 5 (Паритет менен тилкелүү): Offers a balance of performance, capacity, and data redundancy with distributed parity. Requires at least three drives.
• RAID 10 (Striping and Mirroring): Combines RAID 0 and RAID 1 for both performance and redundancy. Requires at least four drives.
• JBOD (Just a Bunch Of Disks): Treats each drive as a separate, independent volume.
• Single Disk: Each drive operates as an individual volume without any RAID configuration.

RAID configuration is typically managed through the TERRAMASTER RAID Manager software. Refer to the software's documentation for detailed steps on creating, modifying, and managing RAID arrays, including features like Online RAID Level Migration (ORLM) and RAID Online Capacity Expansion (OCE).
