Theory of Operation
In summary:
RAID 0 is the fastest and most efficient array type but offers no fault-
tolerance. RAID 0 requires a minimum of two drives.
RAID 1 is the best choice for performance-critical, fault-tolerant
environments. RAID 1 is the only choice for fault-tolerance if no more
than two drives are used.
RAID 2 is seldom used today since ECC is embedded in all hard drives.
RAID 2 is not supported by SmartRAID V.
RAID 3 can be used to speed up data transfer and provide fault-
tolerance in single-user environments that access long sequential
records. However, RAID 3 does not allow overlapping of multiple I/O
operations and requires synchronized-spindle drives to avoid
performance degradation with short records. Because RAID 5 with a
small stripe size offers similar performance, RAID 3 is not supported
by SmartRAID V.
RAID 4 offers no advantages over RAID 5 and does not support
multiple simultaneous write operations. RAID 4 is not supported by
SmartRAID V.
RAID 5 combines efficient, fault-tolerant data storage with good
performance characteristics. However, write performance and
performance during drive failure is slower than with RAID 1. Rebuild
operations also require more time than with RAID 1 because parity
information is also reconstructed. At least three drives are required
for RAID 5 arrays.
Dual-Level RAID
In addition to the standard RAID levels, SmartRAID V controllers can
combine multiple hardware RAID arrays into a single array group or
parity group. In a dual-level RAID configuration, the controller firmware
stripes two or more hardware arrays into a single array.
NOTE The arrays being combined must both use the same RAID level.
Dual-level RAID achieves a balance between the increased data
availability inherent in RAID 1 and RAID 5 and the increased read
performance inherent in disk striping (RAID 0). These arrays are
sometimes referred to as RAID 0+1 or RAID 10 and RAID 0+5 or
RAID 50.
