7. Fibre to SAS SATA RAID Subsystem RAID 6 is similar to RAID 5 in that data protection is achieved by writing parity information to the physical drives in the array With RAID 6 however two sets of parity data are used These two sets are different and each set occupies a capacity equivalent to that of one of the constituent drives The main advantage of RAID 6 is High data availability any two drives can fail without loss of critical data Writes require parity to be updated P Fe aS A p em N Poe y 5 Z D para lo DATA pata para pata para PARITY PARITY PARITY PARITY PARITY PARITY TT TITY Reads can occur simultaneously on every drive In summary RAID O is the fastest and most efficient array type but offers no fault tolerance RAID O requires a minimum of one drive RAID 1 is the best choice for performance critical fault tolerant environments RAID 1 is the only choice for fault tolerance if no more than two drives are used RAID 3 can be used to speed up data transfer and provide fault tolerance in single user environments that access long sequential records However RAID 3 does not allow overlapping of multiple I O operations and requires synchronized spindle drives to avoid performance degradation with short records RAID 5 with a small stripe size offers similar performance RAID 5 combines efficient fault tolerant data storage with good performance

Weight Without Disk 19 7 Kg User Manual F Fibre to SAS SATA RAID Subsystem 1 2 RAID Concepts RAID Fundamentals The basic idea of RAID Redundant Array of Independent Disks is to combine multiple inexpensive disk drives into an array of disk drives to obtain performance capacity and reliability that exceeds that of a single large drive The array of drives appears to the host computer as a single logical drive Five types of array architectures RAID 1 through 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 al
