RAID Level
Note
Min Disk Needed
RAID0
RAID0 is so called Striped Disk Array without Fault Tolerance. It represents the highest storage performance in RAID level. RAID0 is to read-write continue data in several HDD. So, system data query will be performed in several HDDs at the same time.
2 RAID1
It is also called Mirror or mirroring. Its aim is to maximally guarantee data safety and restorable. RAID1 is to automatically copy user input data fully to other RAID1 HDDs.
2
RAID3
RAID3 does not backup the storaged data. It saves the data information on the member HDD of the RAID3 and save the verification information on the verification HDD of the RAID3. The verification information and the corresponding data are saved on different HDDs. When one HDD of the RAID3 is damaged, it can use the left data and then corresponding verification information to restore the damaged data. At the same time, the RAID10 has the low storage space usage rate (50%)as the RAID1.
RAID10
RAID10 assembles RAID0 and the RAID1. It uses the high read/write speed of the RAID0 and the generally high data protection and restores capability of the RAID1. These entire make RAID10 has higher performance and security level.
RAID5
RAID5 does not backup the storage data. Instead, it will memorize data and corresponding verification information to HDDs of RAID5. The data and verification information will be backed up in different HDDs respectively. When data in one of the HDDs is damaged, system can use the rest data and corresponding verification information to restore the lost data.
3 RAID6
Based on the RAID 5, the verification disk is two. The data and verification information will be backed up in different HDDs respectively. When data in two of the HDDs is damaged, system can still use the rest data and corresponding verification information to restore the lost data.
4
RAID50
RAID50 assembles the RAID5 and the RAID0. It uses multiple-group RAID5 to form the RAID50 as the RAID0 mode. It can have the high read/write speed of the RAID0 and it also has the data protection and restores capability of the RAID5. Comparing with the RAID10, RAID50 enhance the storage space usage rate. It max supports one malfunction HDD on each sub-RAID5. It can use the data on other HDDs to restore the data.
RAID60
RAID60 is based on RAID6,RAID0. Use multiple group of RAID6 to

6 Appendix A--- RAID Introduction

6.1 About RAID

RAID is an abbreviation for Redundant Array of Independent Disks. It is to combine several independent HDDs (physical HDD) to form a HDD group (logic HDD) to provide more storage capacity and data redundancy. Now it consists of seven levels, ranging from RAID0 to RAID6.
