7. rchitecture These factors have encouraged the generation of RAID Redundant Arrays of Inexpensive Independent Disks a technology that combines multiple inexpensive and independent hard disks into an array of hard disks so as to increase data transfer performance and storage efficiency RAID implements the mechanisms such as Striping or Mirroring plus Parity Checking to combine two or more physical hard disks into one virtual logical disk array that allows On line quick access huge capacity and fault tolerance If one of the hard disks in the array is damaged the system continues to operate using the remaining working hard disks resulting in no system crash or data loss In summary RAID technology increases the performance and data security in network system architecture 1 2 RAID Functions Expanding storage capacity Increasing data transfer speed Saving cost Inherent Fault Tolerance Hot Swap e Auto Rebuild Hot Spare On line Capacity Expansion 1 3 RAID O vs RAID 1 STARDOM SR3620 2S SB2 provides two level applications RAID 0 Striping and RAID 1 Mirror RAID 0 Striping fast has no fault tolerance requires at least two hard disks At the RAID 0 level the data of hard disks in the entire array is scattered and disassembled For a server concerned the array is considered as a large hard disk of which the capacity is approximately equal to N times as large as the smallest capacity of its N physical dis
