Online Manual AX4SPE Max RAID Introduction What’s RAID? Two major challenges facing the storage industry today are keeping pace with the increasing performance demands of computer systems by improving disk I/O throughput and providing data accessibility in the face of hard disk failures. The idea of RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) was first introduced by David A. Patterson, Garth Gibson and Randy H. Katz at the University California at Berkeley in 1988.
Online Manual AX4SPE Max What are the RAID levels? Striping / Span (RAID 0) RAID level 0, which is the fastest drive array you can have, is a performance-oriented disk mapping method. The data in this array gets written across a stripe or different disks for a faster transfer. This technique has striping but no redundancy of data. It offers the best performance but no fault-tolerance. Reads and writes sector of data interleaved between multiple drives.
Online Manual AX4SPE Max Mirroring (RAID 1) Block 1 RAID level 1 uses at least two duplicate hard drives and store the exact same Block 2 blocks of information between them. This is the slowest form of fault Block 3 tolerance because the data has to be replicated onto two disks at the same time. However, this is the simplest way to provide high reliability.
Online Manual AX4SPE Max Striping with Mirroring (RAID 0+1) As the name would suggest, RAID 0+1 is striping and mirroring combined. This RAID combines the best of both RAID 0 and RAID 1. It takes a Disk stripe using two disks, and mirrors it to another set of disks for fault tolerance. Data is stripped across several disks, each disk has partner with exactly the same data on it. You get the benefits of fast data access as in RAID 0, with the fault tolerance of RAID 1.
