C.2 RAID Functions Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) technology gives you:  Larger disk capacit  Immediate availability and, depending on the RAID level, recovery of dat  Redundancy of data at a level that you can choose RAID technology stores data across groups of disk drives that are known as disk arrays . Subject to the level [...]

C.2.1 RAID-0 RAID-0 is also known as striping, it does not provide redundancy and, therefore, cannot survive the failure of a member. It does provide a single large data space with the operations spread evenly across members. Short operations usually involve only one member, longer transfers use several simultaneously and can, therefore, give highe[...]

C.2.2 RAID-1 RAID-1 is also known as mirroring or dual copy. It provides redundancy with better performance than a single disk, but requires real disk capacity of two times the data size. A RAID-1 array has two disk drive members. If the members have different capacities, the resulting RAID-1 array has the capacity of the smaller member. Each data [...]

C.2.3 RAID-5 RAID-5 arrays write strips of data across all but one member of the array. Parity for the other strips is written on the last member. The members of the array are used in rotation for the parity data. RAID-5 arrays offer data protection , good throughput, and require fewer disks than RAID-1.
