Raid 10 will provide higher performance for exactly the same cost. Other raid levels 2,3,4,6,dp, etc there are other nonstandard raid levels, but you dont hear of them very often. There are different raid levels, however, and not all have the goal of providing redundancy. Also a drive can fail and you will still have your data. A raid 1 array is built from two disk drives, where one disk drive is a mirror of the other the same data is stored on each disk drive. Nowadays, redundant array of independent disks raid is accepted and used by more and more businesses and individuals. Raid 0, raid 1, raid 5, raid 10 explained with diagrams. Raid level 0 is the clusterlevel implementation of data striping and it is the only raid type that doesnt care about fault tolerance. Mylex raid 5 controllers implement rotational parity for increased drive reliability and reduced single point of failure.

Raid is a distributed database system based on the relational model. Raid redundant array of independent disks is a way of storing the same data in different places on multiple hard disks or solidstate drives to protect data in the case of a drive failure. The issue is, if you have too large of raid groups, you dont have the flexibility of specifying how the physical storage is laid out within the database, such as making sure that indexes and records for a table are stored on separate spindles, and making sure that youre balancing out writes across all of your disks. The servers manage concurrent process ing, consistent replicated copies during site failures, and atomic dis tributed commitment.
