RAID Level 10 Mirroring and striping best redundancy and best performance e RAID Level 50 Parity striped across all drives in a mirrored set redundancy and performance You can manage RAID arrays with a RAID controller hardware RAID or with software alone software RAID Reasons for RAID Depending on how you implement RAID which RAID level you use the benefits include one or both of the following e Faster performance In RAID 0 10 or 50 arrays the host system can access multiple disks simultaneously This improves performance because each disk in an array has to handle only part of the request For example in a two disk array each disk needs to provide only its part of the requested data Chapter 4 RAIDs Revision 1 37 38 RAID Level 0 RAID Level 1 RAID Level 5 Chapter 4 RAIDs Revision 1 e Data protection In RAID 1 10 5 and 50 arrays the data is backed up either on an identical disk mirror or on multiple disks parity disks RAID 10 and 50 also allow the host to access disks simultaneously RAID Level 0 is not redundant hence does not truly fit the RAID acronym In Level 0 data is split across drives resulting in higher data throughput Since no redundant information is stored performance is very good but the failure of any disk in the array results in all data loss This level is commonly referred to as striping See Figure 4 1 RAID Level 1 is commonly referred to as mirroring with 2 hard d

43. rives It provides redundancy by duplicating all data from one drive on another drive The performance of a Level 1 array is slightly better than a single drive but if either drive fails no data is lost This is a good entry level redundant system since only two drives are required However since one drive is used to store a duplicate of the data the cost per megabyte is high Mirror Figure 4 1 RAID Level 1 Mirroring RAID Level 5 maps the data across the drives and stores parity information for each data stripe on different drives in the array The parity data labeled P in Figure 4 2 is distributed This lessens the data congestion that occurs if all of the parity data is written to one drive A RAID 5 array can preserve data if drive fails However if two drives fail all data in the array is lost Figure 4 2 RAID Level 5 RAID 50 See Figure 4 3 RAID Level 50 is a variation of RAID Level 5 that maps data across two Level 5 arrays Level 50 offers the data protection of Level 5 and depending on the size of the data stripes established when you configure the array can provide fast throughput Figure 4 3 RAID Level 50 Chapter 4 RAIDs Revision 1 39 40 Hot Spares About RAID Global and Global and Dedicated Hot Chapter 4 RAIDs Revision 1 Spares A hot spare is a drive that is on standby in case another drive fails Depending on how the array is configured the drive is either picke
