RAID level 3/5

A specially developed RAID storageset that stripes data and parity across three or more 
members in a disk array. A RAIDset combines the best characteristics of RAID level 3 and 
RAID level 5. A RAIDset is the best choice for most applications with small to medium I/O 
requests, unless the application is write intensive. A RAIDset is sometimes called parity 
RAID. Raid level 3/5 storagesets are referred to as RAIDsets.

RAID level 5

A RAID storageset that, unlike RAID level 3, stores the parity information across all of the 
disk drives within the storageset. See also RAID level 3.

RAIDset

See RAID level 3/5

read caching

A cache management method used to decrease the subsystem response time to a read request 
by allowing the controller to satisfy the request from the cache memory rather than from the 
disk drives.

read-ahead caching

A caching technique for improving performance of synchronous sequential reads by 
prefetching data from disk.

reconstruction

The process of regenerating the contents of a failed member’s data. The reconstruct process 
writes the data to a spareset disk and then incorporates the spareset disk into the mirrorset, 
striped mirrorset, or RAIDset from which the failed member came. See also regeneration.

reduced

A term that indicates that a mirrorset or RAIDset is missing one member because the member 
has failed or has been physically removed.

redundancy

The provision of multiple interchangeable components to perform a single function in order to 
cope with failures and errors. A RAIDset is considered to be redundant when user data is 
recorded directly to one member and all of the other members include associated parity 
information.
