RAID level 0 can be configured with one or more disks and its capacity is the size of the smallest disk in the RAID set multiplied by the number of disks in the set For example a four disk RAID O yields the capacity of all four disks assuming they are identical in size RAID Level 1 RAID level 1 consists of two or more disks all disks other than the first being an exact mirror of the first RAID level 1 can sustain disk failure up to the total number of disks in the RAID set minus one For example a two disk RAID 1 volume can sustain a one disk failure and continue running A three disk RAID 1 volume can sustain up to two disk failures If a disk fails the data is retrieved from the surviving disk Unfortunately RAID 1 capacity utilization is not optimal in a configuration of three or more disks The capacity is limited to the size of the smallest disk in the RAID set RAID Levels Simplified A 1 v1 0 October 2007 NETGEAR ReadyNAS User Guide RAID Level 5 RAID level 5 provides the best balance of capacity and performance while providing data redundancy RAID 5 provides redundancy by striping data across three or more disks and keeping the parity information on one of the disks in each stripe In case of disk failure the surviving disks and the parity disk are used to reconstruct the lost data providing data transparently to the user application When the failed disk has been replaced with a good disk the reconstructed data is writte
