4. 2 3 4 PARITY RAID RAID 5 Parity or RAID 5 adds fault tolerance to Disk Striping by including parity information with the data Parity RAID dedicates the equivalent of one disk for storing parity stripes The data and parity information is arranged on the disk array so that parity is written to different disks There are at least 3 members to a Parity RAID set The following example illustrates how the parity is rotated from disk to disk The following example illustrates how the parity is rotated from disk to disk Parity stripe Stripes Stripe4 Stripes Parity 2 Parity Parity RAID uses less capacity for protection and is the preferred method to reduce the cost per megabyte for larger installations Mirroring requires 100 increase in capacity to protect the data whereas the above example using three hard drives only requires a 50 increase The additional required capacity decreases as the number of disks in the group increases i e 3396 for four drives or 2596 for five drives In exchange for low overhead necessary to implement protection Parity RAID degrades performance for all write operations The parity calculations for Parity RAID may result in write performance that is somewhat slower than the write performance to a single disk 2 3 5 CONCATENATION The Concatenated mode combines multiple disks or segments of disks into a single large volume It does not provide any data protection or performance impr

10. 2 INTRODUCTION TO RAID 2 1 RAID VOLUMES RAID technology allows one or more disks to be combined into a logical volume which provides greater performance and or protection than standard disk drives These volumes also known as RAID Groups appear like regular disk drives to the operating system and can be partitioned formatted and used just like any other normal disk The complexity of the RAID is hidden within the driver There are several different methods of combining disks each with its own advantages and disadvantages Each method is referred to as a RAID level such as RAID 1 or RAID 5 The details of each level are summarized below and detailed in the following sections RAID LEVEL CONFIGURED ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES AS LEN Striped Excellent performance low cost No data protection MEE Excellent data protection High cost Mirrored Striped High performance excellent High cost data protection 5 Parity RAID Good data protection good Some performance value degradation for writes Combination Concatenated 099 periormanee MORSU No data protection large Volume size Single Drive Contiguous Same as single disk Same as single disk Segment 2 2 SEGMENTING DISKS For increased versatility the SATARAID5 software allows individual disks to be divided into smaller segments which can then be combined into different volumes As an example if a user has one set of data that must be protected at all costs
