72. roring and data parity 5 2 1 Data Striping Multiple hard disk drives in a RAID group referred to as a set or array are divided partitioned into stripes The controller spreads stripes across the disks in alternating sections on each drive In data intensive environments such as digital video editing performance is optimized by writing data across small stripes so that each record spans all drives This method ensures that access to large records is very fast because data is transferred in parallel across multiple drives 5 2 2 Data Mirroring To mirror data the RAID controller duplicates all data on two different disks One disk is the primary the other is the mirrored disk The primary and mirrored disks are synchronized that is anything written to one disk is also written to the other Mirrored data is very secure because if one disk fails the data is available from the other disk B paestoragea switches User Guide 5 1 RAID 5 2 3 Data Parity The controller can generate parity for the ability to protect and rebuild data Parity protects stored information without requiring data mirroring When data is protected by parity it is still available if a drive fails Parity protected data is reconstructed using the parity formula You can remove and replace a failed disk known as hot swapping and the controller then rebuilds the data using the information on the remaining drives 5 3 R
