RAID Levels

RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) is a method of combining two hard disk drives into one logical

unit. The advantage of an Array is to provide better performance or data fault tolerance. Fault tolerance is

achieved through data redundant operation, where if one drives fails, a mirrored copy of the data can be

found on another drive. This can prevent data loss if the operating system fails or hangs. The individual disk

drives in an array are called members. The configuration information of each member is recorded in the

reserved sector that identifies the drive as a member. All disk members in a formed disk array are recognized

as a single physical drive to the operating system.

Hard disk drives can be combined together through a few different methods. The different methods are

referred to as different RAID levels. Different RAID levels represent different performance levels, security

levels and implementation costs. The RAID levels which the Intel

ICH7R chipset supports are RAID 0,

RAID 1, RAID 0+1 and RAID 5.

RAID 0 (Striping)

RAID 0 reads and writes sectors of data interleaved between multiple drives. If any disk member fails, it

affects the entire array. The disk array data capacity is equal to the number of drive members times the

capacity of the smallest member. The striping block size can be set from 4KB to 64KB. RAID 0 does not

support fault tolerance.

RAID 1 (Mirroring)

RAID 1 writes duplicate data onto a pair of drives and reads both sets of data in parallel. If one of the

mirrored drives suffers a mechanical failure or does not respond, the remaining drive will continue to function.

Due to redundancy, the drive capacity of the array is the capacity of the smallest drive. Under a RAID 1

setup, an extra drive called the spare drive can be attached. Such a drive will be activated to replace a failed

drive that is part of a mirrored array. Due to the fault tolerance, if any RAID 1 drive fails, data access will not

be affected as long as there are other working drives in the array.

RAID 0+1 (Striping + Mirroring)

RAID 0+1 combines the performance of data striping (RAID 0) and the fault tolerance of disk mirroring (RAID

1). Data is striped across multiple drives and duplicated on another set of drives.

RAID 5 (Striping with Parity)

RAID 5 provides good fault tolerance and allows for overlapped I/O operations.

Under a RAID 5 setup, data and parity information are equally distributed to each disk member in the array.

If any one of the drives fails, the remaining drive will continue to function. After replacing the failed drive, you

can rebuild the data from the remaining data and parity.

Only one drive can safely crash without any data loss.
