  • Page 71 RAID 0 RAID 0 uses an algorithm to break files into smaller files of the user defined size called the stripe size. Once a file is broken down into these stripes, each drive in the array receives one or more of these fragments. For example, if there are two drives in a RAID 0 array with a 64KB stripe size and the RAID controller gets a command to write a single 128KB file, the file is broken down into two 64KB stripes.
  • Page 72 RAID 1 RAID 1 works by writing identical sets of information to two drives in an array. When the controller is sent a 64KB file to be written to a two disk RAID 1 array, the controller sends identical copies of this 64KB file to both disks in the array.
