What are the different RAID options for SAS
I have a server Xeon cpu, 4gb ram and 2 150gb SAS on a RAID.
I would like to make an upgrade and would like to know what options are available for RAID setup (FYI: the manufacturer indicates max storage is 700gb).
What different type of RAID for SAS and which would be the optimum option?

I think is only two.
Can you describe in less tech terms the difference in raid 0 (stripping) and raid 1 so I can talk to my boos (he is not a tech)

Raid 1 would be your best bet for better recovery and performance.

Excellent!
If you can get more HDD then you can go for RAID 5 and it is the best option if you have 3 or more HDD.
