Depending on the amount of drives you have in your system you are able to setup the following RAID sets. RAID Performance/Fail Minimum Drives RAID-0 (striped) No redundancy. 2 RAID-1 (mirrored) 1 drive can fail. 2 RAID-5 (striped with distributed parity) 1 drive can fail (better performance). 3 To manage our RAID sets we will […]

How to do a speed test
Due to many false positives and the way speedtest.net is being used to test we hereby give you a better solution to test your network speed. The speedtest.net application uses only one transfer thread with a single server. As we don’t know the actual network load or speed of the nearest speedtest.net server this is […]
Windows Software RAID-5
RAID-5 provides fault tolerance and increased read performance. At least three (3) drives are required. RAID-5 can sustain the loss of a single drive. In the event of a drive failure, data from the drive is reconstructed from parity striped across the remaining drives. As a result, both read and write performance are severely affected […]
Windows Software RAID-0
RAID-0 combines two or more drives to increase performance and capacity but does not provide fault tolerance. A single drive failure will result in the loss of all data on the array. RAID-0 is useful for non-critical systems where a high price/performance balance is required. RAID-0 is almost never used with the boot drive, if […]
Windows Software RAID-1
RAID-1 is most often implemented with two drives. Data on the drives are mirrored, providing fault tolerance in case of drive failure. A single drive failure can be sustained without data loss. RAID-1 is often used when fault tolerance is key, while space and performance are not critical requirements. Please take a look at our […]
How to add an additional IP on your Windows server
