RAID Flashcards
Disk Striping
a. Minimum of 2 drives
b. No redundancy
c. High level input/output performance
RAID 0
a. Minimum of 2 Drives
b. Duplicates Data
c. If one Drive fails, data recovery is possible
d. Faster reading, slower writing
e. Provides best data protection
RAID 1
a. Does not use Standard Techniques
b. Splits data at the bit level and distributes the data to numerous data and redundancy disk
RAID 2
a. Byte-level stripping with a dedicated parity disk
b. Cannot accommodate multiple data requests simultaneously
c. Data recovery by an applicable calculation of parity bytes and remaining bytes that relate with them
RAID 3
a. Byte-Level Stiping across multiple drives and distributes the parity information among all member drives.
b. Writing process is slow
c. Minimum of 3 drivers
RAID 5
a. Also known as RAID 1+0
b. Combination of RAID 0 and RAID 1
c. Requires at least 4 drives
d. Mirrors disk for redundancy
e. Also stripes data across multiple disks for maximum performance
RAID 10
