10. Striping is a performance oriented non redundant data mapping technique While Striping is discussed as a RAID Group type it is does not provide any fault tolerance With modern SATA and ATA bus mastering technology multiple I O operations can be performed in parallel enhancing data throughput Striping arrays use multiple disks to form a larger virtual disk The figure below illustrates a three disk stripe set Stripe one is written to disk one stripe two to disk two and so forth RAID 0 sets can be comprised of two three or four drives If the sizes of the disk segments are different the smallest disk segment will limit the overall size of the RAID Group stripes Stipg Stripes W il gi 2 3 2 DISK MIRRORING RAID 1 Disk mirroring creates an identical twin for a selected disk by having the data simultaneously written to two disks This redundancy provides instantaneous protection from a single disk failure If a read failure occurs on one drive the system reads the data from the other drive RAID 1 sets are comprised of two drives and a third drive can be allocated as a spare in case one of the drives in the set fails If the sizes of the disk segments are different the smallest disk segment will limit the overall size of the RAID Group GEESS Block 0 Block 0 Ke 2 3 3 DISK MIRRORING AND STRIPING RAID 10 RAID 10 combines the features of both RAID 0 and RAID 1 Performance is provided through the use of S
