Working with RAID

A redundant array of independent disks (RAID) is a disk storage
configuration that increases performance or data redundancy. There are four
basic RAID levels discussed in this section.
NOTE:
RAID requires multiple hard drives. The number of hard drives required
varies depending on the RAID configuration.
RAID level 0 is recommended for higher performance (faster throughput).
RAID level 1 is recommended for users who need a high level of data
integrity.
RAID level 0+1 is recommended for higher performance and data
integrity
RAID level 5 is recommended for higher performance and fault tolerance.
