Implementation Considerations
RAID Configuration
When deploying multiple Dell 345-BBZJ SSDs, consider these RAID recommendations:
RAID 1 (Mirroring)
Ideal for boot volumes or small capacity requirements where redundancy is critical. Provides excellent read performance.
RAID 10 (Striped Mirrors)
Recommended for most database applications, providing both performance and redundancy. Balances read and write performance effectively.
RAID 5 (Striping with Parity)
Suitable for read-intensive applications where capacity efficiency is important. May experience write performance limitations.
