RAID stands for Redundant Arrays of Independent Disks and increases performance and data redundancy by using multiple disks instead of a single disk. Common RAID levels include RAID 0, 1, 10, 3, 4, 5 and 6 with each using different techniques like disk striping, mirroring and parity to provide redundancy and performance.

RAID stands for “Redundant Arrays of


Independent Disks”. RAID increases the
performance, data redundancy or both by
making use of a combination of multiple disks
instead of using a single disk.

 RAID 1
 RAID 10
 RAID 3
 RAID 4
 RAID 5
 RAID 6

RAID 0 (disk striping) is the process of dividing
a body of data into blocks and spreading the
data blocks across multiple storage devices,
such as hard disks or solid-state drives (SSDs),
in a redundant array of independent disks
group.
*
(Redundant Array of Independent Disks Mode
1) A popular disk or solid state drive (SSD)
subsystem that increases safety by writing
the same data on two drives. Called
"mirroring," RAID 1 does not increase
performance. However, if one drive fails, the
second drive is used, and the failed drive is
manually replaced.
*

RAID levels 0 and 1 can be combined to make


a stripe of mirrors — RAID 10 — or a mirror of
stripes (RAID 01) configuration. These are
called nested RAID levels.
*

RAID 3 is a RAID configuration that uses a


parity disk to store the information generated
by a RAID controller instead of striping it with
the data. Because the parity information is on
a separate disk, RAID 3 does not perform well
when tasked with numerous small data
requests.
*

RAID 4 (redundant array of independent


disks) is a RAID configuration that uses a
dedicated parity disk and block-
level striping across multiple disks. Because
data is striped in RAID 4, the records can be
read from any disk.
*
RAID 5 is a redundant array of independent
disks configuration that uses disk
striping with parity. Data and parity are
striped evenly across all of the disks, so no
single disk is a bottleneck. Striping also
enables users to reconstruct data in case of
a disk failure.
*

RAID 6 is a type of RAID level that utilizes


block-level striping and distributes two parity
blocks on each disk within the array. It is
considered an enhancement to RAID level 5,
but adds an additional parity block on each
disk in the array. RAID 6 is also known as
double-parity RAID.
