5. Appendix C RAID Basics Overview A Redundant Array of Independent Disks RAID is an array of several hard disks that provide data security and high performance A RAID system accesses several hard disks simultaneously which improves I O performance over a single hard disk Data security is enhanced by a RAID since data loss due to a hard disk failure is minimized by regenerating redundant data from the other RAID hard disks Benefits RAID improves I O performance and increases data security through fault tolerance and redundant data storage Improved Performance RAID provides access to several hard disk drives simultaneously which greatly increases I O performance Data Security Hard disk drive failure unfortunately is a common occurrence A RAID helps prevent against the loss of data due to hard disk failure A RAID offers additional hard disk drives that can avert data loss from a hard disk drive failure If a hard drive fails the RAID volume can regenerate data from the data and parity stored on its other hard disk drives RAID Levels The Thecus N8800 supports standard RAID levels 0 1 5 6 10 and J BOD You choose a RAID level when you create a system volume The factors for selecting a RAID level are e Your requirements for performance e Your need for data security e Number of hard disk drives in the system capacity of hard disk drives in the system The following is a description of each RAID level R

52. AID 0 RAID 0 is best suited for applications that need high bandwidth but do not require a high level of data security The RAID O level provides the best performance of all the RAID levels but it does not provide data redundancy RAID O uses disk striping and breaking up data into blocks to write across all hard drives in the volume The system can then use multiple hard drives for faster read and write The stripe size parameter that was set when the RAID was created determines the size of each block No parity calculations complicate the write operation RAID 1 RAID 1 mirrors all data from one hard disk drive to a second one hard disk drive thus providing complete data redundancy However the cost of data storage Capacity is doubled This is excellent for complete data security 137 RAID 5 RAID 5 offers data security and it is best suited for networks that perform many small I O transactions at the same time as well as applications that require data security such as office automation and online customer service Use it also for applications with high read requests but low write requests RAID 5 includes disk striping at the byte level and parity information is written to several hard disk drives If a hard disk fails the system uses parity stored on each of the other hard disks to recreate all missing information RAID 6 RAID 6 is essentially an extension of RAID level 5 which allows for additional fault tolerance by using
