RAID O is the fastest and most efficient array type but offers no fault tolerance RAID O requires a minimum of one drive RAID 1 is the best choice for performance critical fault tolerant environments RAID 1 is the only choice for fault tolerance if no more than two drives are used RAID 3 can be used to speed up data transfer and provide fault tolerance in single user environments that access long sequential records However RAID 3 does not allow overlapping of multiple I O operations and requires synchronized spindle drives to avoid performance degradation with short records RAID 5 with a small stripe size offers similar performance RAID 5 combines efficient fault tolerant data storage with good performance characteristics However write performance and performance during drive failure is slower than with RAID 1 Rebuild operations also require more time than with RAID 1 because parity information is also reconstructed At least three drives are required for RAID 5 arrays e RAID 6 is essentially an extension of RAID level 5 which allows for additional fault tolerance by using a second independent distributed parity scheme two dimensional parity Data is striped on a block level across a set of drives just like in RAID 5 and a second set of parity is calculated and written across all the drives RAID 6 provides for an extremely high data fault tolerance and can sustain multiple simultaneous drive failures It is a perfect solu

53. RAID 0 arrays Disk Striping Fundamental to RAID technology is striping This is a method of combining multiple drives into one logical storage unit Striping partitions the storage space of each drive into stripes which can be as small as one sector 512 bytes or as large as several megabytes These stripes are then interleaved in a rotating sequence so that the combined space is composed alternately of stripes from each drive The specific type of operating environment determines whether large or small stripes should be used Most operating systems today support concurrent disk I O operations across multiple drives However in order to maximize throughput for the disk subsystem the I O load must be balanced across all the drives so that each drive can be kept busy as much as possible In a multiple drive system without striping the disk I O load is never perfectly balanced Some drives will contain data files that are frequently accessed and some drives will rarely be accessed STRIPING DISK DRIVES Disk 2 Disk 3 Disk 4 Data stripes from each drive are interleaved to create one logical drive By striping the drives in the array with stripes large enough so that each record falls entirely within one stripe most records can be evenly distributed across all drives This keeps all drives in the array busy during heavy load situations This situation allows all drives to work concurrently on different I O operations and thus maximize
