Choosing RAID Levels and Concatenation
You can use RAID or concatenation to control data storage on multiple disks. Each RAID level or concatenation has different performance and data protection characteristics.
The following topics provide specific information on how each RAID level or concatenation store data as well as their performance and protection characteristics:
- Concatenation
- RAID Level 0 (Striping)
- RAID Level 1 (Mirroring)
- RAID Level 5 (Striping with distributed parity)
- RAID Level 6 (Striping with additional distributed parity)
- RAID Level 50 (Striping over RAID 5 sets)
- RAID Level 60 (Striping over RAID 6 sets)
- RAID Level 10 (Striping over Mirror sets)
