Editor to share with you the server X3650 M2 how to configure RAID5 and hot spare, I hope you will gain something after reading this article, let's discuss it together!

Experimental environment:

1. Server model Lenovo System X3650 M2

2. Six 300g SAS hard drives

Experimental purpose:

Configure RAID 5 to build a backup server for important files.

Note: there are six hard drives in this tutorial, five of which are RAID 5, and the other is a hot spare. If one hard disk or two hard drives are damaged at the same time, the hard disk data will still run normally.

(the function of hot spare is that RAID5 only allows one of them to be damaged. If two or more hard drives are damaged at the same time, the data will be lost, but the hot spare can be replaced, and RAID5 can damage the data of both hard drives at the same time.

Still operating normally), if three or more hard drives are damaged, catastrophic data loss will occur. RAID5+ hot spare is one of the ideal independent redundant disk arrays.
