41
Q

What are mirrored drives?

A

Disk duplexing is a variation of disk mirroring in which each of multiple storage disks has its own SCSI controller . Disk mirroring (also known as RAID-1) is the practice of duplicating data in separate volumes on two hard disks to make storage more fault-tolerant.

42
Q

Disk striping?

A

Raid 0, A stripe consists of the data divided across the set of hard disks or SSDs, and a striped unit refers to the data slice on an individual drive.

43
Q

Duplexing drives?

A

Disk mirroring, duplexing,RAID 1. RAID 1 is based on disk mirroring or duplexing. Data that’s written to one disk is also written to another, so that each disk has an exact copy of the data and one disk’s data is a mirror image of the other’s. If one of the physical disks fails, the server can continue operating by using the other disk.

44
Q

Raid 5?

A

Disk striping with distributed parity

45
Q

Raid 6?

A

disk striping with extra parity

46
Q

What is nested in raid?

A

Nested RAID levels, also known as hybrid RAID, combine two or more of the standard RAID levels (where “RAID” stands for “redundant array of independent disks”) to gain performance, additional redundancy or both, as a result of combining properties of different standard RAID layouts.
