    0 arrays do not maintain redundant data, so they offer no data protection. Compared to an equal-sized group of independent disks, a RAID 0 array provides improved I/O performance. Drive segment size is limited to the size of the smallest disk drive in the array. For instance, an array with two 250
  • Adaptec 6405E | User Manual and Install Guide - Page 98
    one disk drive is a mirror of the other (the same data is stored on each disk drive). Compared to independent disk drives, RAID 1 arrays provide improved performance, with twice the read rate and an equal write rate of single disks. However, capacity is only 50 percent of independent disk drives

    Appendix B: Understanding RAID ● 98 RAID 10 Arrays A RAID 10 array is built from two or more equal-sized RAID 1 arrays. Data in a RAID 10 array is both striped and mirrored. Mirroring provides data protection, and striping improves performance. Drive segment size is limited to the size of the

    and parity data to provide redundancy. Parity data provides data protection, and striping improves performance. Parity data is an error-correcting redundancy that's used to re-create data if a disk drive fails. In RAID 5 arrays, parity data (represented by Ps in the next figure) is striped evenly

    and can't be shared with other logical disk drives. A distributed spare improves the speed at which the array is rebuilt following a disk drive failure. A RAID 5EE array protects your data and increases read and write speeds. However, capacity is reduced by two disk drives' worth of space, which is
