 +====== RAID ======
 +  * RAID0 - striping
 +  * RAID1 - mirror
 +  * RAID5
 +    * do not use
 +    * very slow write
 +    * rebuild takes days, and during rebuild another disk may fail = fatal
 +  * RAID6 - striping with double parity (5+2, 13+2).
 +    * minimum 4 disks
 +    * allow 2 disk failure
 +    * slower write than RAID5 (requires udpate parity on 2 disks)
 +
 +Recommended levels for safety: 
 +  * RAID10 = RAID 1 + 0 = i.e two mirrors (RAID1) stripped as RAID0
 +  * RAID6
 +  * RAID60 = RAID 6 + 0 - two RAID6 sets stripped as RAID0
 +
 ====== Raid controllers ====== ====== Raid controllers ======
 +  * controllers where RAID can be disabled, and all disks are exposed to host are called: ''HBA'', ''JBOD'', ''IT-MODE''
 +    * H200
 +    * H310 ???
 +    * PERC 6 (no ''i'' letter)
