  • 1.  DataPower - RAID level

    Posted Tue May 02, 2023 11:49 AM

    I've been asked by a customer the RAID level used by DataPower.
    I could not find any information.
    The customer used terminology I am not familiar with ("striping", ...).
    I see in the wiki page:
    Standard RAID levels - Wikipedia

    Standard RAID levels - Wikipedia
    In computer storage, the standard RAID levels comprise a basic set of RAID ("redundant array of independent disks" or "redundant array of inexpensive disks") configurations that employ the techniques of striping, mirroring, or parity to create large reliable data stores from multiple general-purpose computer hard disk drives (HDDs).

    ... RAID levels 0 - 6 (and beyond) are described in this wiki page.
    What RAID level does DataPower use?
    Much appreciate any response!

    In the current IDGX2 and X3 appliances it is raid 1, mirroring.  The X2 have 2 10K rpm HDDs and X3 has 2 SSDs.
