What is RAID?

efficiently transferred while assuring good quality, for example, in a

recording.

RAID 0 offers no mirroring or redundancy options. If one disk in the

array fails, the entire array is inoperable. RAID 0 is not fault-tolerant.

RAID 1 (mirroring)

In a RAID 1 array, disks are arranged in pairs. Data is always written

to both disks in a pair. This system is rather failsafe, but more

expensive than other solutions, since the user actually has to provide

twice the physical storage capacity. RAID 1 is often used in

environments with multiple users where safety is of great importance.

RAID 5

RAID 5 is the same as RAID 0, i.e. using multiple disks to emulate

one large virtual disk, but using parity data format to store redundant

information. While the user is writing data, RAID 5 scans the data and

stores redundancy information on a separate disk in the array. Parity

information is split and stored on different disks together with the

actual data. If one disk in the array fails, parity data on the safeguard

disk can still be used to rebuild the entire information.

In other words, in a RAID 5 array, you use one disk for redundancy

data, leaving you with n-1 disks available for actual data storage.

RAID 5 with hot spare

RAID 5 with hot spare is a RAID 5 configuration with one additional
