62. hrough RAID 5 were originally defined each provides disk fault tolerance with different compromises in features and performance In addition to these five redundant array architectures it has become popular to refer to a non redundant array of disk drives as a RAID O arrays Disk Striping Fundamental to RAID technology is striping This is a method of combining multiple drives into one logical storage unit Striping partitions the storage space of each drive into stripes which can be as small as one sector 512 bytes or as large as several megabytes These stripes are then interleaved in a rotating sequence so that the combined space is composed alternately of stripes from each drive The specific type of operating environment determines whether large or small stripes should be used Most operating systems today support concurrent disk I O operations across multiple drives However in order to maximize throughput for the disk subsystem the I O load must be balanced across all the drives so that each drive can be kept busy as much as possible In a multiple drive system without striping the disk I O load is never perfectly balanced Some drives will contain data files that are frequently accessed and some drives will rarely be accessed STRIPING DISK DRIVES Disk 1 Disk 2 Disk 3 Disk 4 Data stripes from each drive are interleaved to create one logical drive By striping the drives in the array with stripes large enough so that each
