RAID definitions
RAID 0 (Data striping) optimizes two identical hard disk drives to
read and write data in parallel, interleaved stacks. Two hard disks
perform the same work as a single drive but at a sustained data
transfer rate, double that of a single disk alone, thus improving data
access and storage. Use of two new identical hard disk drives is
required for this setup.
RAID 1 (Data mirroring) copies and maintains an identical image
of data from one drive to a second drive. If one drive fails, the disk
array management software directs all applications to the surviving
drive as it contains a complete copy of the data in the other drive.
This RAID configuration provides data protection and increases fault
tolerance to the entire system. Use two new drives or use an existing
drive and a new drive for this setup. The new drive must be of the
same size or larger than the existing drive.
