Introduction to RAID

RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) allows multiple physical drives to

be combined together into a logical drive. The operating system sees the logical

drive as a single storage device, and treats it as such. The RAID software and/or

controller handle all of the individual drives on its own. The benefits of a RAID

can include:

• Higher data transfer rates for increased server performance

• Increased overall storage capacity for a single drive designation (such as, C,

D, E, etc.)

• Data redundancy/fault tolerance for ensuring continuous system operation in

the event of a hard drive failure

Different types of logical drives use different organizational models and have

varying benefits. See Choosing RAID Level on page 24. The following outline

breaks down the properties for each type of RAID logical drive:

1 2 ... 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 ... 35 36
