OLED - Lighting Type?
Does not NEED Backlight-Self Illuminating.
Thus, it’s Smaller/Thinner, but more expensive.
RAID0 - Method, Min # of Drives, Common Usage?
Stripping = SPEED
Requires min of 2 Drives.
Heavy Read Operations
- If 1 Drive fails, all Data Lost.
+ High Performance Speed
- Data is LOST if one disk fails
RAID1 - Method, Min # of Drives, Common Usage?
Mirroring = REDUNDANCY
Requires atleast 2 Drives
- Primary Purpose of RAID1 is Redundancy - Slows things down because you’re Mirroring/Writing the Data Twice.
+ Fault Tolerance, High Read Performance
- LAG for Write Ops, Reduced Storage by 50%
RAID5 - Method, Min # of Drives, Common Usage?
Stripping + Parity = SPEED + REDUNDANCY
Requires Minimum of 3 Drives.
Normal File Storage & App Servers
- Stripping occurs with 2 of the 3 Drives, and the 3rd Drive does Parity.
- If 1 Drive Fails, data can easily be recreated - Replace the Failed Drive and Rebuild the Array.
- If more than 1 Drive Fails, you can’t rebuild the Array.
+ Speed and Fault Tolerance
- LAG for Write Ops, Reduced Storage by 33%
RAID10 - Method, Min # of Drives, Common Usage?
Stripping & Mirroring = HIGH SPEED + HIGH REDUNDANCY
Requires Minimum of 4 Drives
Highly Utilized Database Servers
- 2 of the Drives are RAID1 and Mirrored to the other 2 RAID1 Drives
- If you lose a Mirrored PAIR, you are in trouble.
- You can lose 2 Drives as long as they aren’t in the same Mirrored Pair.
- Includes Stripping across two drives for faster performance and Mirroring of the Stripped Array for Safety.
+ Write Performance and Strong Fault Tolerance
- Reduced Storage by 50%, Limited Scalability
RAID6 - Method, Min # of Drives, Common Usage?
Stripping + Double Parity
Requires 4 Drives Minimum
Large File Storage & App Servers
- It’s like RAID5, Stripping with Parity, but instead of 1 Parity Drive you get 2 Parity Drives.
- You can lose up to 2 Drives before Data Loss.
+ Extra Level of Redundancy, High Read Performance
- Low Write Performance, Reduced Storage by 40%
