Note: RAID functionality is only available on the FortiLog-400 and 800. These units have four
hard disks and support RAID level 0, 1, and 5.

RAID Level

Select the RAID level. The FortiLog unit supports the linear, 0, 1, and 5

RAID levels. The default RAID level is linear. Changing the RAID level

deletes all log messages from the FortiLog hard disk.

Linear

Linear disk volume. Combines two or more disks into one larger disk.

During file saving, the files are saved on physical disks sequentially but

do not have a disk failure file protection function. The overall capacity of

linear disks is the sum of all disks. Linear disks are generally used for

storing large amounts of data and not for protection of important data.

Level 0

Striping disk volume. Combines two or more disks into one larger disk.

Stripping disk RAID offers the fastest disk access but does not provide

data protection of the data when the striped array fails. The disk capacity

equals the number of disks in the array times the size of the smallest disk.

Select striping disk to maximize disk capacity or for fast disk access but

not for protection of important data.
