  • Page 3 What is RAID? RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) is a set of technology standards for teaming disk drives to improve fault tolerance and performance Why RAID? Increased data protection. If in an unfortunate event where a drive fails, the same data is preserved on the mirrored drive. Intelligent array controllers can apply different types of RAID for different hard disk drives.

  • Page 5 ※ RAID0 (Striping): A RAID0 array divides data into two parts respectively in the two hard drives. The theoretical storage speed of the array is twice that of a single drive, and actual capacity equals twice the size of the smallest capacity hard drive(between the two hard drives).
  • Page 6 ※ RAID1 (Mirroring): A RAID1 array mirrors data written to the two hard drives equally. The capacity of the array is equal to the smallest capacity drive in the array. Storage speed is same as a single drive. The advantage of RAID1 is that if any hard drive fails the other drive will still carry all data written to the drives.
