2. Tape sub system Redundant Array of Independent Disks RAID RAID provides convenient low cost reliable storage by saving data on more than one disk drive simultaneously If one disk drive in a RAID 5 configuration becomes unavailable the others continue to work in a degraded state thus avoiding downtime for users Note Because RAID 5 is designed for data protection you might see performance degradation when compared to JBOD operations RAID allows you to group the individual disk drives on the REO Appliance into logical disk drives of different sizes You can configure your REO Appliance to create two physical RAID volumes by selecting either of the following RAID options RAID 0 This configuration uses striping which provides enhanced performance and volume level capacity It divides the data into blocks and writes each block to a separate disk drive which improves performance by dispersing the input and output load RAID 0 does not provide data redundancy RAID 5 This configuration uses striping and distributed parity which provides a balance between performance and availability In addition to dividing the data into blocks as described for RAID 0 the parity information is also striped across the disks If one of the disk drives fails you can use the parity information to rebuild the lost data In addition to using either of the preceding RAID configura
