Types of RAID Configurations

RAID0

  • RAID 0 is based on data striping

RAID0

RAID1

  • RAID 1 uses the concept of data mirroring

RAID1

RAID 4

  • RAID 4 stripes the data across multiple disks just like RAID 0. In addition to that, it also stores parity information of all the disks in a separate dedicated disk to achieve

RAID 5

  • RAID 5 is very similar to RAID 4, but here the parity information is distributed over all the disks instead of storing them in a dedicated disk.

RAID5

RAID 6

  • RAID 6 uses double parity blocks to achieve better data redundancy than RAID 5.

RAID6

RAID 1+0

  • RAID 10 combines both RAID 1 and RAID 0 by layering them in opposite order. Sometimes, it is also called as “nested” or “hybrid” RAID.
