What RAID configurations are supported by Synology NAS?

Synology Network Attached Storage supports a wide range of RAID configurations to meet various storage needs. The supported RAID types include RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 6, RAID 10, RAID F1, and SHR (Synology Hybrid RAID). RAID 0 offers enhanced performance by striping data across multiple drives without redundancy. RAID 1 provides data mirroring for improved data security. RAID 5 combines striping and distributed parity for optimal performance and data protection. RAID 6 offers double distributed parity for enhanced fault tolerance. RAID 10 combines mirroring and striping for both performance and redundancy. RAID F1 is optimized for large-capacity drives, reducing the risk of data loss. Lastly, SHR is a proprietary RAID system that provides flexibility in mix-matching drive capacities and offers automated data protection. With these options, Synology NAS allows users to choose the most appropriate RAID configuration for their specific needs.
