# EBS RAID configurations

* With Amazon EBS, you **can use any of the standard RAID configurations that you can use with a traditional bare metal server**, as long as that particular RAID configuration is supported by the operating system for your instance.

  * This is because **all RAID is accomplished at the software level**.

* **For greater I/O performance** than you can achieve with a single volume, **RAID 0 can stripe multiple volumes together.**<br>

* **For on-instance redundancy**, **RAID 1 can mirror two volumes together**.
