RAID 0 (Striping):
Description: Data is divided into blocks and distributed across multiple drives without
redundancy.
Performance: Provides improved read and write speeds since data is split across drives.
Fault Tolerance: No redundancy; if one drive fails, all data is lost.
Requirement:
Minimum Two Disks,
Similar disks,
Raid controller,
Backup,
Data striping configuration ,
Operating System support,
Monitoring and Maintenance.
Advantages: Improved Disadvantages: No Redundancy,Increased
Performance,Maximum Storage Risk of Data Loss,Impact of Disk
Efficiency,Simple Implementation,Cost Failure,Not a Substitute for Backups,Limited
Applicability
Efficiency
RAID 1 (Mirroring):
Description: Data is duplicated on two or more drives, providing redundancy.
Performance: Read performance is improved, but write performance may be slightly slower.
Fault Tolerance: Can withstand the failure of one drive as data is mirrored.
Requirement:
Minimum Two Disks,
Similar disks,
Raid controller,
Backup,
Data Mirroring Configuration,
Fault Tolerance,
Data Protection,
Operating System support,
Monitoring and Maintenance.
Advantages: Redundancy,Data Disadvantages: Cost Efficiency,Write
Protection,Read Performance,Simple Performance,Storage Efficiency,Limited
Implementation,No Parity Calculations Scalability,Not a Substitute for Backups
RAID 5 (Striping with Parity):
Description: Data is striped across multiple drives, and parity information is distributed
across the drives.
Performance: Balanced read and write performance.
Fault Tolerance: Can tolerate the failure of one drive. Parity information is used to
reconstruct data.
Requirement:
Minimum Three disks,
Similar disks,
Raid controller,
aBackup,
Data Striping with Parity Configuration,
Fault Tolerance,
Data Protection,
Operating System support,
Monitoring and Maintenance.
Hot Swapping
Advantages: Redundancy and Disadvantages: Write Performance during Rebuild,Risk of
Fault Tolerance,Balanced Data Loss during Rebuild,Complex Rebuild
Performance,Usable Storage Process,Limited Scalability,Not Suitable for High-Write
Capacity,Hot Swapping, Environments,Read Performance under Heavy Load
RAID 6 (Striping with Dual Parity):
Description: Similar to RAID 5, but with two sets of parity information.
Performance: Slower write performance compared to RAID 5 due to dual parity calculations.
Fault Tolerance: Can tolerate the failure of two drives.
Requirement:
Minimum Four Disks,
Similar disks,
Raid controller,
Backup,
Data Striping with Dual Parity Configuration,
Fault Tolerance,
Data Protection,
Operating System support,
Monitoring and Maintenance.
Hot Swapping.
Advantages: Redundancy and Fault Disadvantages: Write Performance during

Storage Capacity,Hot Performance under Heavy Load,Risk during
Swapping,Redundancy Cost Savings Rebuilding
RAID 10 (Combination of RAID 1 and RAID 0):
Description: Data is mirrored (RAID 1) and then striped (RAID 0).
Performance: Excellent read and write performance.
Fault Tolerance: Can withstand the failure of one drive in each mirrored pair.
Minimum 4 disk
RAID 50 (Combination of RAID 5 and RAID 0):
Description: Combines multiple RAID 5 arrays through RAID 0 striping.
Performance: Good balance of performance and fault tolerance.
Fault Tolerance: Can tolerate the failure of one drive in each RAID 5 array.
Minimum 6 disk
RAID 60 (Combination of RAID 6 and RAID 0):
Description: Similar to RAID 50 but with dual parity for each RAID 6 array.
Performance: Better fault tolerance than RAID 50 but slower write performance.
Fault Tolerance: Can tolerate the failure of two drives in each RAID 6 array.
Minimum 8 disk
RAID JBOD (Just a Bunch Of Disks):
Description: Drives are presented individually without any RAID configuration.
Performance: Depends on individual drive performance.
Fault Tolerance: No redundancy; failure of any drive results in data loss for that drive.
