T Y P E S O F RAID works by placing data on multiple

disks and allowing input/output

operations to overlap in a balanced way,
improving performance.
RAID

RAID 1
Known as Mirroring, this setup
consist of at least a pair of disk
drives that duplicate the storage
of data, Mirroring is used for
Fault Tolerance
RAID 3
This Technique uses striping and
dedicates one drive to storing
parity.it has an embedded ECC
and is used to detect errors.
RAID 5
RAID 0
This setup has Striping, but no
redundancy of data, it does so by
distributing data all across disk in
array.
RAID 2
This setup uses striping across
disks, and this is not a common
use either, it employs striping at
the bit level in conjunction by
using the Hamming code parity
RAID 4
in raid 4 the stripes used are
large stripes. which means a user
can read records from any single
drive. since all write operations
are required to update the parity
drive, no I/O overlapping is
possible

This level is based on a parity

block level striping. it distributes
all across all disk, and a typical
allocation used is a round-robin
scheme..
RAID 6
in this scheme two different
parity calculations are carried
out and stored in separate
blocks on different disks, like the
previous raid. this raid reads
data transactions very fast
