    In that case I would almost certainly say you're using a variation of RAID level 4 called RAID DP where you have an additional dedicated parity drive which gives you the two drive fault tolerance. Unfortunately it's a proprietary non-RAID configuration, and given that you have your drives at...

Having a dedicated parity drive is a characteristic of RAID 4 and again your data is striped across all the...
