Drive Types, Speeds and Sizes
1 TB Drive
RAID 1
RAID 1 is also known as a mirrored set
A copy of the data is written to both disks in
the set
This provides redundancy. If one disks fails you
still have a working copy of the data
Write performance is not improved as a copy
of the same data is written to both disks
Read performance is improved as reads can be
serviced by either disk
RAID 4
RAID 4 uses block level striping with a dedicated parity disk
Data can be recreated from parity if any one of the disks in the set fails
Read performance is improved as multiple disks concurrently service reads
Write performance is not improved as all parity data is written to the same
single disk

RAID 5
RAID 5 uses block level striping with distributed parity
Data can be recreated from parity if any one of the disks in the set fails
Read performance is improved as multiple disks concurrently service
reads
Write performance is also improved as parity data is spread
throughout the set
RAID 6
RAID 6 uses block level striping with two parity blocks distributed
throughout the set
Data can be recreated from parity if two of the disks in the set fail
Read and write performance is improved
Hybrid RAID
RAID levels can be nested into a hybrid RAID set
In RAID 10 (1+0), multiple RAID 1 mirrored sets are nested into a RAID
0 striped set
In RAID 0+1, multiple RAID 0 sets are nested into a RAID 1 mirror
In RAID 50 (5+0), multiple RAID 5 striped sets with parity are nested
into a RAID 0 striped set
