G.1 Introduction

The SATA disks can be configured in a RAID array. RAID array setup is described in

Chapter 7

. The RAID array can be in one of the following configurations or levels:

RAID 0

RAID 1

RAID 10

RAID 5

JBOD

These levels are described below:

G.1.1 RAID 0 or Disk Striping

RAID 0 is a disk striping method. Data is stripped across two or more disks. RAID 0 does

not provide any redundant storage. When one of the drives fails, the data cannot be

restored. Disk striping enables faster access to the disk sectors and faster reads and

writers to and from the system.

G.1.2 RAID 1 or Disk Mirroring

RAID 1 is a disk mirroring method. Data on a first drive is copied exactly as is to a second

drive. If one of the drives fails then data is backed up on the second drive and no

information is lost. Although read and write speeds do increase, overall storage capacity is

halved. That is, if two 50 GB drives are mirrored together, the total storage capacity is

100 GB. However, since one 50 GB drive is a mirror of the other 50 GB drive, only 50 GB

of data can be stored on the system.

For disk mirroring two, four or six disks are required.

G.1.3 RAID 10 or Disk Mirroring and Striping

RAID 10 combines disk mirroring and striping. First data is mirrored on two drives (drive 1

and drive 2) and then the mirrored data is striped across two other drives (drive 3 and
