    RAID (Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks) is a technology that combines multiple disks to provide increased storage capacity, performance, and data redundancy. It allows a system to continue operating even if one disk fails by using data striping and parity techniques across the array. The most common RAID levels are RAID 0, which stripes data across disks for performance but has no redundancy; RAID 1, which mirrors data onto two disks for redundancy but uses half the storage capacity; and RAID 5, which stripes data across disks with parity on a separate disk for redundancy at a lower cost than RAID 1.

    RAID 

    (Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks)


    RAID is a technology which allows us to combine multiple disks for increased Disk capacity,
    performance and data redundancy. Hard disks combined into the array are known as RAID
    levels. RAID is commonly used on servers and in DATA Storage Device like DROBO ,
    Seagate and Promise.

    With a single hard disk, we cannot protect our data in case of a disk failure, But with multiple
    disks and a suitable redundancy setup, our system can stay up and running in case of a disk
    failure, and we just need to replace the bad HDD.

    Below is an most popular RAID levels:

    RAID 0-

    RAID 0 is known as striping, in a RAID 0 data are written across all the drives in the array.

    In RAID 0 we require minimum 2 HDD, Raid 0 offers superior read and write performance.
    RAID 0 is very easy and less time consuming to implement.

    We can use this technology to increase storage capacity; RAID 0 is not a fault-tolerant. in
    case of drive fails, all data get wiped out from Disk.

    RAID level 1 – Mirroring

    In RAID level 1 data are stored in 2 drives. If one drive get fails, the Raid controller uses
    mirror drive for data recovery. For a RAID 1 we need at least 2 drives.

    RAID 1 is a very simple technology and it has one disadvantage is that we get only half of
    the total drive capacity because all data get written twice in HDD's.

    RAID 5 -

    RAID 5 is one of the most common RAID Technologies; it is fast and reliable then other
    RAID level. It use disk striping with parity which makes it inexpensive data redundancy and
    fault tolerance.

    Data blocks are striped across all the drives and on one drive a parity checksum of all the
    block data is written. The parity data are spread across all drives. In case of a single drive
    failure RAID 5 system can read the data information from parity drives to recreate that data.

    During the RAID rebuilding if another disk gets failed, then all data will wiped out from disk
    forever.

    RAID 5 is a only 1 drawback that is longer rebuild times.

    RAID level 10 (combination of RAID 1 & RAID 0)


    In RAID level 10 technology, RAID level 1 and Raid level 0 work at same time in 1 single
    system to protech Data loss. RAID 10 also known as hybrid RAID.

    Combination of two or more RAID levels is called hybrid RAID.

    RAID 0 use for striping and Raid 1 use for mirroring.

    In single Disk failure situation in a RAID 10 copy all the available data from the live mirror
    RAID to a new drive.

    Only the Disadvantages RAID Level 10 is half of the storage capacity goes to mirroring, so
    this is an expensive RAID level .
