Raid 0+1: Striped Set With Mirroring - Accusys ExaSAN SW16 User Manual

RAID Overview
RAID 6 is no more space inefficient than RAID 5 with a hot spare drive when used with a
small number of drives, but as arrays become bigger and have more drives the loss in
storage capacity becomes less important and the probability of data loss is greater.
RAID 6 provides protection against data loss during an array rebuild, when a second
drive is lost, a bad block read is encountered, or when a human operator accidentally
removes and replaces the wrong disk drive when attempting to replace a failed drive.

disadvantages. RAID 0+1 creates a mirror of the primary striped set. RAID 0+1 provides
optimal speed and reliability.
