RAID
Redundant array of independent disks
What is used to prevent hard drive faults from causing loss of data?
RAID
In a RAID setup, data
Is copied on multiple disks so in the event of a disk failure no data would be lost
There are four types of RAID setups
RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 10
RAID 0 is not considered safe because
It does not actually duplicate data
How does RAID 0 work?
It spreads data over 2 disks. If one disk fails, then all data is still lost
The only reason to use RAID 0 would be
Speed
RAID 1 is
fault tolerant
In RAID 1 the data is copied on
more than 1 disk
In RAID 5
You need 3 or more disks
What RAID setup is most common?
RAID 5
In RAID 5
Data is spread or striped across three disks, and one disk is used for parity
RAID 10 is actually
RAID 1 and RAID 0 put together. It needs a total of 4 disks
