RAID Described
Stripe (RAID 0): Greatly increases the performance
of data transfer by simultaneously writing data to 2
drives.
Mirror (RAID 1): duplicates or mirrors the data on
both drives. No data will be lost if one of the drives fails.
Mirror-Striping (RAID 1+0) Combined both
Striping and Mirroring technologies to provide both the
performance enhancements that come from Striping and
the data availability and integrity that come from
Mirroring.
Mirror-Sparing (RAID 1+S) Can automatically
replace the failed drive and rebuild the system when
booting HDD failed.
Parity (RAID 5) Adds fault tolerant to disk striping
by including parity information with the data.
