RAID Described 
Stripe (RAID 0): Greatly increases the performance 
of data transfer by simultaneously writing data to 2 
drives. 
Mirror (RAID 1): duplicates or mirrors the data on 
both drives. No data will be l ost if one of the drives fails. 
Mirror-Striping (RAID 1+0) Combined both 
Striping and Mi rroring technologies to prov ide both the 
performance enhancements that come from Striping and 
the data availability and integrity that come f rom 
Mirroring. 
Mirror-Sparing (RAID 1+S) Can automatically 
replace the failed drive and rebuild t he system when 
booting HDD failed. 
Parity (RAID 5)  Adds fault tolerant to disk striping 
by including parity information with the data.
