- How raid works 23
- Nf4st a9 23
- Raid 0 the controller stripes data across multiple drives in a raid 0 array system it breaks up a large file into smaller blocks and performs disk reads and writes across multiple drives in parallel the size of each block is determined by the strip size parameter which you set during the creation of the raid set based on the system environment this technique reduces overall disk access time and offers high bandwidth 23
- Features and benefits 24
- Nf4st a9 24
- Raid 1 every read and write is actually carried out in parallel across 2 disk drives in a raid 1 array system the mirrored backup copy of the data can reside on the same disk or on a second redundant drive in the array raid 1 provides a hot standby copy of data if the active volume or drive is corrupted or becomes unavailable because of a hardware failure raid techniques can be applied for high availability solutions or as a form of automatic backup that eliminates tedious manual backups to more expensive and less reliable media 24
- Features and benefits 25
- Nf4st a9 25
- Raid 0 1 raid 0 drives can be mirrored suing raid 1 techniques resulting in a raid 0 1 solution for improved performance plus resiliency 25
- Features and benefits 26
- For more detailed setup information please refer to the driver cd or go to 26
- Nf4st a9 26
- Single logical drive 26
- Spanning jbod jbod stands for just a bunch of disks each drive is accessed as if it were on a standard scsi host bus adapter this is useful when a single drive configuration is needed but it offers no speed improvement or fault tolerance 26
