Array Basics

RAID 4

RAID 4 is similar to RAID 3 in that the redundant information is achieved in the form of parity data. The user data is distributed across all but one of the disks. The controller uses a single, dedicated parity drive for data protection. The main difference is that RAID 3 usually synchronizes writes to its disks, while RAID 4 can send data to its disk independently.

RAID 4 is best suited for transaction processing applications that require high read requests, but not write requests such as inquires rather than updates.

RAID 4 is not recommended for I/O intensive applications that require high data transfer rates.

RAID 5

RAID 5 arrays contain redundant information in the form of parity data, which is calculated block-by-block for all user data. The parity information is distributed across the disks in the array and occupies the equivalent capacity of about one disk. Data is interspersed with the parity information. If one disk in the array fails, the data on the failed disk can be reconstructed from the parity data and user data on the remaining disks. Two disks must fail before the entire array fails.

The read performance of a RAID 5 array is excellent—comparable to that of a RAID 0 array. Write performance is lower than that of a RAID 0 array, because write operations involve calculating and writing new parity data as well as writing the new user data.

RAID 50

RAID 50 arrays are made up of two or more RAID 5 arrays, across which data is striped. RAID 50 arrays contain redundant information in the form of parity data, which is calculated block-by-block for all user data. As in a RAID 5 array, the parity information is distributed across the disks in the array and occupies the equivalent capacity of one disk per RAID 5. Data is interspersed with the parity information. If one disk in the array fails, the data on the failed disk can be reconstructed from the parity data and user data on the remaining disks. Two disks in one RAID 5 subset must fail before the entire array fails.

The read performance of a RAID 50 array is excellent—better than a RAID 5 array— along with better data protection. Write performance is lower than that of a RAID 0 array, because write operations involve calculating and writing new parity data as well as writing the new user data.
