RAID supports the following types of RAID arrays:
RAID 0:
RAID 0 defines a disk striping scheme that improves disk read and write
times for many applications.
RAID 1:
RAID 1 defines techniques for mirroring data.
RAID 10:
RAID 10 combines the techniques used in RAID 0 and RAID 1.
RAID 5:
RAID 5 provides fault tolerance and better utilization of disk capacity.
