RAID (Redundant Array of Independent)
RAID (Redundant Array of Independent) & RAID Types The term RAID was defined as Redundant Array of Independent (or Inexpensive) Disks ,. RAID storage uses multiple disks in order to provide fault tolerance, to improve overall performance, and to increase storage capacity in a system RAID allows us to store the same data redundantly (in multiple paces). RAID disk drives are used frequently on servers but aren't generally necessary for personal computers. The disks can be combined into the array in different ways known as RAID levels. Each of RAID levels has its some characteristics: Fault-tolerance which is the ability to survive of one or several disk failures. Performance shows the change in the read and write speed of the entire array as compared to a single disk. The capacity of the array which is determined by the amount of user data that can be written to the array. The array capacity depends ...
