Chapter 5: Disk Array Concepts

About RAID Levels

Striping (RAID 0)

Reads and writes sectors of data interleaved between multiple drives. When any

disk member fails, it affects the entire array. Performance is better than a single

drive since the workload is balanced between the array members.

This array type is for high performance systems. Identical drives are

recommended for performance as well as data storage efficiency. The disk array

data capacity is equal to the number of drive members times the smallest

member capacity. For example, one 100 GB and three 120 GB drives will form a

400 GB (4 x 100 GB) disk array.

Stripe Size – A value can be set from 16KB to 128KB sector size. The size can

directly affect performance. In the FastBuild BIOS, the default is 64KB.
