RAID 1 |
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| Advantages | Disadvantages |
|
|
|
|
|
| Simplest RAID storage subsystem | Very high disk overhead - uses only |
|
| design | 50% of total capacity |
|
| Can increase read performance by |
|
|
| processing data requests in parallel |
|
|
| since the same data resides on two |
|
|
| different drives |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Recommended Applications for RAID 1
•Accounting
•Payroll
•Financial
•Any application requiring very high availability
RAID 5
Advantages | Disadvantages |
|
|
High Read data transaction rate | Disk failure has a medium impact on |
Medium Write data transaction rate | throughput |
| |
Good aggregate transfer rate |
|
|
|
Recommended Applications for RAID 5 |
|
• File and Application servers |
|
• WWW, |
|
• Intranet servers |
|
• Most versatile RAID level |
|
RAID 10
Advantages | Disadvantages |
|
|
Implemented as a mirrored logical drive | Very high disk overhead - uses only |
whose segments are RAID 0 logical | 50% of total capacity |
drives |
|
High I/O rates are achieved thanks to |
|
multiple stripe segments |
|
|
|
