5. RAID 5 combines efficient fault tolerant data storage with good performance characteristics However write performance and performance during drive failure is slower than with RAID 1 Rebuild operations also require more time than with RAID 1 because parity information is also reconstructed At least three drives are required for RAID 5 arrays e RAID 6 is essentially an extension of RAID level 5 which allows for additional fault tolerance by using a second independent distributed parity scheme two dimensional parity Data is striped on a block level across a set of drives just like in RAID 5 and a second set of parity is calculated and written across all the drives RAID 6 provides for an extremely high data fault tolerance and can sustain multiple simultaneous drive failures It is a perfect solution for mission critical applications re User Manual SATA II RAID Subsystem RAI D Management The subsystem can implement several different levels of RAID technology RAID levels Supported by the subsystem are shown below Block striping is provide which yields higher performance than with individual drives There is no redundancy Drives are paired and mirrored All data is 100 duplicated on an equivalent drive Fully redundant Data is striped across several physical drives Parity protection is used for data redundancy Data is striped across several physical drives Parity protection is used for data redundancy Data is st
