    RAID

    RAID is a technology that is used to increase the performance and/or reliability of data
    storage. The abbreviation stands for either Redundant Array of Independent
    Drives or Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks, which is older and less used. A RAID
    system consists of two or more drives working in parallel. These can be hard discs, but
    there is a trend to also use the technology for SSD (Solid State Drives). There are
    different RAID levels, each optimized for a specific situation. These are not standardized
    by an industry group or standardization committee. This explains why companies
    sometimes come up with their own unique numbers and implementations. This article
    covers the following RAID levels:

     RAID 0 – striping
     RAID 1 – mirroring
     RAID 5 – striping with parity
     RAID 6 – striping with double parity
     RAID 10 – combining mirroring and striping

    The software to perform the RAID-functionality and control the drives can either be
    located on a separate controller card (a hardware RAID controller) or it can simply be a
    driver. Some versions of Windows, such as Windows Server 2012 as well as Mac OS X,
    include software RAID functionality. Hardware RAID controllers cost more than pure
    software, but they also offer better performance, especially with RAID 5 and 6.
    RAID-systems can be used with a number of interfaces, including SATA, SCSI, IDE, or
    FC (fiber channel.) There are systems that use SATA disks internally, but that have a
    FireWire or SCSI-interface for the host system.
    Sometimes disks in a storage system are defined as JBOD, which stands for Just a
    Bunch Of Disks. This means that those disks do not use a specific RAID level and acts
    as stand-alone disks. This is often done for drives that contain swap files or spooling
    data.
    Below is an overview of the most popular RAID levels:

    RAID level 0 – Striping


    In a RAID 0 system data are split up into blocks that get written across all the drives in
    the array. By using multiple disks (at least 2) at the same time, this offers superior I/O
    performance. This performance can be enhanced further by using multiple controllers,
    ideally one controller per disk.
    RAID 0 – Striping

    Advantages of RAID 0
     RAID 0 offers great performance, both in read and write operations. There is no
    overhead caused by parity controls.
     All storage capacity is used, there is no overhead.
     The technology is easy to implement.
