The group of drives appears to the host system as a single storage unit or as multiple virtual drives. Data throughput improves because several drives can be accessed simultaneously. RAID configurations also improve data storage availability and fault tolerance. Redundant RAID levels (RAID levels 1 and 1E) provide data protection.</a></p> </td> </tr> <tr style="vertical-align: top"> <td class="Table_Cell_Invisible" style="border-bottom-color: Transparent; border-bottom-style: hidden; border-bottom-width: 0pt; border-left-color: Transparent; border-left-style: hidden; border-left-width: 0pt; border-right-color: Transparent; border-right-style: hidden; border-right-width: 0pt; border-top-color: Transparent; border-top-style: hidden; border-top-width: 0pt; padding-bottom: 5px; padding-left: 5px; padding-right: 5px; padding-top: 5px; vertical-align: top"> <p class="Table_Cell_Invisible"><a name="3_16_3_1_2_1_4_41_1">RAID 0</a></p> </td> <td class="Table_Cell_Invisible" style="border-bottom-color: Transparent; border-bottom-style: hidden; border-bottom-width: 0pt; border-left-color: Transparent; border-left-style: hidden; border-left-width: 0pt; border-right-color: Transparent; border-right-style: hidden; border-right-width: 0pt; border-top-color: Transparent; border-top-style: hidden; border-top-width: 0pt; padding-bottom: 5px; padding-left: 5px; padding-right: 5px; padding-top: 5px; vertical-align: top"></td> <td class="Table_Cell_Invisible" style="border-bottom-color: Transparent; border-bottom-style: hidden; border-bottom-width: 0pt; border-left-color: Transparent; border-left-style: hidden; border-left-width: 0pt; border-right-color: Transparent; border-right-style: hidden; border-right-width: 0pt; border-top-color: Transparent; border-top-style: hidden; border-top-width: 0pt; padding-bottom: 5px; padding-left: 5px; padding-right: 5px; padding-top: 5px; vertical-align: top"> <p class="Table_Cell_Invisible"><a name="3_16_3_1_2_1_4_41_3">A RAID 0 drive group uses data striping on one or more drives to provide high data throughput, especially for large files in an environment that requires no data redundancy.</a></p> </td> </tr> <tr style="vertical-align: top"> <td class="Table_Cell_Invisible" style="border-bottom-color: Transparent; border-bottom-style: hidden; border-bottom-width: 0pt; border-left-color: Transparent; border-left-style: hidden; border-left-width: 0pt; border-right-color: Transparent; border-right-style: hidden; border-right-width: 0pt; border-top-color: Transparent; border-top-style: hidden; border-top-width: 0pt; padding-bottom: 5px; padding-left: 5px; padding-right: 5px; padding-top: 5px; vertical-align: top"> <p class="Table_Cell_Invisible"><a name="3_16_3_1_2_1_4_42_1">RAID 1</a></p> </td> <td class="Table_Cell_Invisible" style="border-bottom-color: Transparent; border-bottom-style: hidden; border-bottom-width: 0pt; border-left-color: Transparent; border-left-style: hidden; border-left-width: 0pt; border-right-color: Transparent; border-right-style: hidden; border-right-width: 0pt; border-top-color: Transparent; border-top-style: hidden; border-top-width: 0pt; padding-bottom: 5px; padding-left: 5px; padding-right: 5px; padding-top: 5px; vertical-align: top"></td> <td class="Table_Cell_Invisible" style="border-bottom-color: Transparent; border-bottom-style: hidden; border-bottom-width: 0pt; border-left-color: Transparent; border-left-style: hidden; border-left-width: 0pt; border-right-color: Transparent; border-right-style: hidden; border-right-width: 0pt; border-top-color: Transparent; border-top-style: hidden; border-top-width: 0pt; padding-bottom: 5px; padding-left: 5px; padding-right: 5px; padding-top: 5px; vertical-align: top"> <p class="Table_Cell_Invisible"><a name="3_16_3_1_2_1_4_42_3">A RAID 1 drive group uses data mirroring on pairs of drives so that data written to one drive is simultaneously written to the other drive.

Each stripe consists of consecutive virtual drive data addresses that are mapped in fixed-size units to each drive in the virtual drive by using a sequential pattern. For example, if the virtual drive includes five drives, the stripe writes data to drives one through five without repeating any of the drives. The amount of space consumed by a stripe is the same on each drive. Striping by itself does not provide data redundancy. Striping in combination with parity does provide data redundancy.</a></p> </td> </tr> <tr style="vertical-align: top"> <td class="Table_Cell_Invisible" style="border-bottom-color: Transparent; border-bottom-style: hidden; border-bottom-width: 0pt; border-left-color: Transparent; border-left-style: hidden; border-left-width: 0pt; border-right-color: Transparent; border-right-style: hidden; border-right-width: 0pt; border-top-color: Transparent; border-top-style: hidden; border-top-width: 0pt; padding-bottom: 5px; padding-left: 5px; padding-right: 5px; padding-top: 5px; vertical-align: top"> <p class="Table_Cell_Invisible"><a name="3_16_3_1_2_1_4_54_1">virtual drive</a></p> </td> <td class="Table_Cell_Invisible" style="border-bottom-color: Transparent; border-bottom-style: hidden; border-bottom-width: 0pt; border-left-color: Transparent; border-left-style: hidden; border-left-width: 0pt; border-right-color: Transparent; border-right-style: hidden; border-right-width: 0pt; border-top-color: Transparent; border-top-style: hidden; border-top-width: 0pt; padding-bottom: 5px; padding-left: 5px; padding-right: 5px; padding-top: 5px; vertical-align: top"></td> <td class="Table_Cell_Invisible" style="border-bottom-color: Transparent; border-bottom-style: hidden; border-bottom-width: 0pt; border-left-color: Transparent; border-left-style: hidden; border-left-width: 0pt; border-right-color: Transparent; border-right-style: hidden; border-right-width: 0pt; border-top-color: Transparent; border-top-style: hidden; border-top-width: 0pt; padding-bottom: 5px; padding-left: 5px; padding-right: 5px; padding-top: 5px; vertical-align: top"> <p class="Table_Cell_Invisible"><a name="3_16_3_1_2_1_4_54_3">A storage unit created by a RAID controller from one or more drives.
