Appendix A: Introduction to Serial Attached SCSI ● 71 What’s a SAS Port? Note: Because the ph ysical link between SAS devices is from ph y to phy , rather than por t to por t, a “por t” is more of a vir tual concept, di fferent from what is normally considered a por t on other types of RAID controllers and storage devices.

Appendix B: Understanding RAID ● 81 RAID 50 Arra ys A RAID 50 array is built fr om six to fort y-eight disk drives configur ed as two or more RAID 5 arrays, and stripes stored dat a and par ity data across all disk driv es in both RAID 5 arrays. (Fo r more inf or mation, see RAID 5 A r ra y s on page 79 .
Appendix B: Understanding RAID ● 82 RAID 6 Arra ys A RAID 6 array—also known as dual drive fail ure protection—is similar to a RAID 5 array because it uses data striping and par ity data to provide redundancy . How e ver , RAID 6 arr ays include tw o independent sets of parity data instead of one.
Appendix B: Understanding RAID ● 83 Selecting the Best RAID Le vel U se this table to select the RAID levels that ar e most appropri ate for the logical drives on your st or age space, based on the number of available disk driv es and your requirements fo r perfor mance and reliab ilit y .
