    Raid

    RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) combines multiple disk drives into a single logical unit to improve performance, redundancy, and fault tolerance. Different RAID levels offer varying balances of these attributes, such as RAID 0 for performance, RAID 1 for redundancy, and RAID 5 for a balance of both. RAID is commonly used in servers and storage systems.

    RAID

    1. RAID (REDUNDANT ARRAY OF INDEPENDENT DISKS) IS A


    DATA STORAGE TECHNOLOGY THAT COMBINES MULTIPLE
    PHYSICAL DISK DRIVES INTO A SINGLE LOGICAL UNIT.

    2. IT AIMS TO IMPROVE PERFORMANCE, DATA REDUNDANCY,


    AND FAULT TOLERANCE IN STORAGE SYSTEMS.

    3. RAID IS COMMONLY USED IN SERVERS, NAS DEVICES, AND


    STORAGE ARRAYS.
    Overview
    1. RAID 0: OFFERS IMPROVED PERFORMANCE BY STRIPING DATA
    ACROSS MULTIPLE DISKS BUT PROVIDES NO DATA REDUNDANCY. NOT
    RECOMMENDED FOR CRITICAL DATA.
    2. RAID 1: PROVIDES DATA REDUNDANCY THROUGH DISK MIRRORING.
    OFFERS FAULT TOLERANCE BUT DOES NOT ENHANCE PERFORMANCE.
    3. RAID 5: USES STRIPING WITH PARITY TO PROVIDE BOTH
    PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT AND DATA REDUNDANCY. REQUIRES
    AT LEAST THREE DISKS.
    4. RAID 10 (RAID 1+0): COMBINES MIRRORING AND STRIPING FOR BOTH
    PERFORMANCE AND REDUNDANCY. REQUIRES AT LEAST FOUR DISKS.
    5. RAID 6: SIMILAR TO RAID 5 BUT WITH DUAL PARITY BLOCKS,
    OFFERING HIGHER FAULT TOLERANCE. REQUIRES AT LEAST FOUR
    DISKS.
    RAID 0
    1. RAID 0 stripes data across
    multiple disks, improving read
    and write performance.
    2. However, there is no data
    redundancy, and the loss of a
    single disk means the loss of all
    data in the array.
    3. Recommended for non-critical
    applications, such as temporary
    storage or caching.
    RAID 1
    1. RAID 1 creates an exact mirror of
    data on a second disk, providing data
    redundancy.
    2. It offers fault tolerance, as the system
    can continue to function even if one
    disk fails.
    3. Write performance is generally slower
    than RAID 0, but read performance
    can be improved if the RAID
    controller supports load balancing.
    RAID 10 (RAID
    1+0)
    1. RAID 10 combines the features
    of RAID 1 and RAID 0.
    2. It mirrors data across multiple
    pairs of disks and then stripes
    the mirrored pairs for
    performance.
    3. Offers excellent fault tolerance,
    with the ability to handle
    multiple disk failures depending
    on the mirrored pairs.
    RAID 5
    1. RAID 5 stripes data across
    multiple disks and calculates parity
    data for fault tolerance.
    2. It provides both performance
    improvement and data redundancy.
    3. Can tolerate the failure of a single
    disk, and data can be rebuilt using
    parity information.
    RAID 6
    1. RAID 6 is similar to RAID 5
    but includes two sets of parity
    data for added fault tolerance.
    2. Can tolerate the failure of two
    disks simultaneously,
    providing higher data
    availability.
    3. Write performance is slower
    due to the need to calculate
    dual parity information.
    Pros and Cons
    1. PROS: IMPROVED PERFORMANCE, DATA
    REDUNDANCY, AND FAULT TOLERANCE;
    BETTER DATA AVAILABILITY; INCREASED
    DATA SAFETY AGAINST DISK FAILURES.
    2. CONS: HIGHER COST (ESPECIALLY FOR
    RAID 1 AND RAID 10); PERFORMANCE
    TRADE-OFFS IN SOME RAID LEVELS; NO
    PROTECTION AGAINST MULTIPLE DISK
    FAILURES IN SOME CONFIGURATIONS.
    Use Cases
    1. RAID 0: MEDIA EDITING, GAMING, AND OTHER NON-
    CRITICAL APPLICATIONS THAT REQUIRE HIGH-SPEED
    DATA ACCESS.
    2. RAID 1: MISSION-CRITICAL SYSTEMS, DATABASES, AND
    IMPORTANT DOCUMENTS WHERE DATA INTEGRITY IS
    CRUCIAL.
    3. RAID 5: FILE SERVERS, APPLICATION SERVERS, AND
    ENVIRONMENTS THAT NEED A BALANCE OF
    PERFORMANCE AND DATA REDUNDANCY.
    4. RAID 10: HIGH-PERFORMANCE DATABASES,
    VIRTUALIZATION ENVIRONMENTS, AND CRITICAL
    SYSTEMS THAT DEMAND BOTH PERFORMANCE AND HIGH
    FAULT TOLERANCE.
