RAID 0 RAID 0 uses striping to provide high data throughput especially for large files in an environment that does not require fault tolerance RAID 0 has no redundancy and it provides improved performance and additional storage without fault tolerance Any drive failure destroys the array and the likelihood of failure increases with more drives in the array RAID 0 does not implement error checking so any error is uncorrectable More drives in the array means higher bandwidth but greater risk of data loss RAID O requires a minimum number of two hard disk drives e RAID 1 mirroring without parity or striping RAID 1 uses mirroring so that data written to one drive is simultaneously written to another drive This is good for small databases or other applications that require small capacity but complete data redundancy RAID 1 provides fault tolerance from disk errors or failures and continues to operate as long as at least one drive in the mirrored set is functioning With appropriate operating system support there can be increased read performance and only a minimal write performance reduction RAID 1 requires a minimum number of two hard disk drives e RAID 5 block level striping with distributed parity RAID 5 uses disk striping and parity data across all drives distributed parity to provide high data throughput especially for small random access RAID 5 distributes parity along with the data and requires all drives but one to be present
