81. ne disk for storing parity stripes The data and parity information is arranged on the disk array so that parity is written to different disks There are at least 3 members to a Parity RAID set The following example illustrates how the parity is rotated from disk to disk The following example illustrates how the parity is rotated from disk to disk Stripe Stripe pe Striped Stripes Parity _ StripeT Stripes __ Parity RAID uses less capacity for protection and is the preferred method to reduce the cost per megabyte for larger installations Mirroring requires 100 increase in capacity to protect the data whereas the above example using three hard drives only requires a 50 increase The additional required capacity decreases as the number of disks in the group increases i e 33 for four drives or 25 for five drives In exchange for low overhead necessary to implement protection Parity RAID degrades performance for all write operations The parity calculations for Parity RAID may result in write performance that is somewhat slower than the write performance to a single disk 2 3 5 CONCATENATION COMBINE DRIVE The Concatenated mode combines multiple disks or segments of disks into a single large volume It does not provide any data protection or performance improvement but can be useful for utilizing leftover space on disks Concatenation allows the segments that make up the volume to be of different size
