LaCie Biggest Quadra User Manual Understanding RAID page 16 3. Understanding RAID Your LaCie Biggest Quadra is shipped with a preconfigured RAID level of 5, but it supports four different RAID levels: 0, 0 + 1, 5 and 5 + Hot Spare. This section will help you decide which RAID level is right for you. 3.1. RAID 0 Striped Disk Array Without Fault Tolerance Also called striping, this level offers high transfer rates and is ideal for large blocks of data where speed is of the utmost importance.
LaCie Biggest Quadra User Manual Understanding RAID page 17 3.2. RAID 0 + 1 High Data Transfer Performance This level combines striping and mirroring, which provides full data redundancy and protects data in the event that multiple drives fail (provided that the data on one of each mirrored pair of drives is intact). Storage capacity in this configuration is determined by multiplying the capacity of the smallest disk by two.
LaCie Biggest Quadra User Manual Understanding RAID page 18 3.3. RAID 5 Independent Data Disks With Distributed Parity Blocks This is the most versatile RAID level and offers high I/O transaction rates, which greatly helps applications that perform large numbers of concurrent requests. If one drive in a RAID 5 array fails, the lost data can be rebuilt from data on the remaining, functional disks. Essentially, RAID level 5 is a striped set with parity, and requires at least three disks to implement.
LaCie Biggest Quadra User Manual Understanding RAID page 19 3.4. RAID 5 + Hot Spare This level is the same as RAID 5, but one disk is designated as a “Hot Spare,” which means that in the event of a disk failure, the “Hot Spare” disk would automatically be activated to replace the failed disk.
