Marvell RAID Utility User Guide
Getting Started 1-3
1.1.3 Supported RAID Levels
The Marvell RAID controller supports the following RAID levels:
 RAID 0 (striping). In this RAID system, identical drives can read and write data in parallel to
increase performance.
 RAID 1 (mirroring). In this RAID system, mirroring increases read performance through load
balancing and elevator sorting while creating a complete real-time backup of your files.
 RAID 10 (mirroring/striping). In this nested RAID system, combining mirroring with striping
offers both high read/write performance and fault-tolerance.
For more information about RAID levels, see Comparing RAID Levels on page 4-39.
