RAID 2 is similar to RAID 5, but instead of disk striping using parity, striping occurs at the bit-level. RAID 2 is seldom deployed because costs to implement are usually prohibitive (a typical setup ...

In the late 1980s, processing power and memory performance were increasing by more than 40% each year. However, due to mechanical limitations, hard drive performance was not able to keep up. To ...

RAID is one of the most common terms thrown around in the home lab ecosystem, though there’s a lot more to it than meets the eye. Despite offering some protection ...

Which RAID level should be used with three hard disks of 146 GB and one of 300 GB? All the main RAID levels are possible, but which RAID level you choose in this case depends on the criticality of the ...

on non-standard RAID levels, I talked a bit about RAID 1E, which is a RAID level that provides RAID-10-like functionality but with an odd number of disks. Although disks are pretty cheap these days, ...

RAID, which stands for redundant array of independent (or inexpensive) disks, is a method of placing the same data in different locations on multiple hard drives. There are many different types of ...

In terms of raw price/performance, RAID 0 has the lowest cost. All disk space is used to store data; none is used for mirroring or parity data. Performance is good in terms of I/O, as data is striped ...
