There are many off the shelf RAID systems on the market.  CnW will handle a lot of systems, but sometimes working out the paramters can be complex.

The list below is from actual RAID systems.  These may not be typical values but can be used as a starting point for working out the drive setup.

For many configurations, the start of the drive is actually RAID 1 (ie all disks have the same information) and then the data section is in RAID 0, RAID 5 etc.
