RAID: Redundant array of independent disks.

RAID systems provide improved


performance,
protection against disk failure and space for very large file systems. All levels except
RAIS 0
(striping) provide a way to reconstruct data when disk failure occurs.
They are 5 types of RAID configuration available in Solaris:
1. RAID 0: Concatenation or striping.
2. RAID 1: Mirroring.
3. RAID 0+1: Concatenation or striping with mirroring
4. RAID 1+0: Mirroring with concatenation or striping.
5. RAID 5: Block-interleaved striping with distributed parity.
