This document discusses RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks), which combines multiple disk drives into a logical unit to provide data redundancy, integrity, and improved performance. It describes the main RAID levels (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) and their characteristics such as striping, mirroring, parity, and performance. RAID provides benefits like fault tolerance, increased throughput, and capacity but also has disadvantages like additional hardware costs and complexity.

- 1. RAID Guided By:- Miss Rujata Saraf Presented By:-Darshan M. Gala College:- G.H.R.I.E.M Class:- B.E.I.T
- 2. CONTENTS Introduction Abstract Raid Levels Application Advantages of RAID Disadvantages of RAID Conclusion Reference
- 3. INTRODUCTION RAID stands for Redundant Array of Independent Disks or Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks. RAID is an example of storage virtualization and was first defined by David Patterson in 1987.[ RAID is a storage technology that combines multiple disk drive components into a logical unit
- 4. ABSTRACT Storage scheme using multiple hard drives to share or replicate data among the drives. It provide data integrity, fault-tolerance, throughput or capacity compared to single drives. Instead of seeing several different hard drives, the OS sees only one. Typically used on server computers, advanced personal computers.
- 5. RAID LEVELS Raid level 0 Raid level 1 Raid level 2 Raid level 3 Raid level 4 Raid level 5
- 6. RAID 0 (STRIPING WITHOUT PARITY) Striping means that each file is split into blocks of a certain size and those are distributed to the various drives. Offers superior I/O performance. Performance can be enhanced further by using multiple controllers.
- 7. Ideal use Photoshop image retouching station. Advantages Offers great performance. There is no overhead caused by parity controls. Easy to implement. Disadvantages Not fault-tolerant. It should not be used on mission-critical systems.
- 8. RAID 1(MIRRORING WITHOUT PARITY OR STRIPING) Mirroring means duplication of data i.e • Data are stored twice . • Writing them to both the data disk and a mirror disk . The controller uses either the data drive or the mirror drive for data recovery.
- 9. Ideal use Accounting systems. Advantages Data do not have to be rebuild. Disadvantages Storage capacity is only half of the total disk capacity .
- 10. RAID 2 (BIT-LEVEL STRIPING WITH DEDICATED HAMMING-CODE PARITY) Bit-level striping means that the file is broken into "bit- sized pieces“. It uses a Hamming code for error correction.
- 11. Ideal use No commercial use. Advantages Data transferred rate is very high. Single bit errors can be detected and corrected. Multiple bit errors can be detected. Disadvantages Multiple bits error cannot be corrected. Raid 3 gives better performance at lower price.
- 12. RAID 3(BYTE-LEVEL STRIPING WITH A DEDICATED PARITY DISK) Byte-level striping means that the file is broken into "byte-sized pieces“. Written in parallel on two or more drives. An additional drive stores parity information.
- 13. Ideal use video streaming. Advantages It provides high throughput for large data transfers. Disk failures do not significantly slow down throughput. Disadvantages Performance is slower for random, small I/O operations.
- 14. RAID 4 (BLOCK-LEVEL STRIPING WITH A DEDICATED PARITY DISK) Block-level striping means that each file is split into blocks of a certain size . Allows each member to act independently when only a single block is requested. Service multiple read requests simultaneously.
- 15. Ideal use Enterprise level company to use it is NetApp. Advantages Reading operations are very fast. Fault tolerance is very high. Disadvantages In degraded mode, its reading operation becomes slow. Writing operation on disks is extremely slow.
- 16. RAID 5 (BLOCK-LEVEL STRIPING WITH PARITY DATA DISTRIBUTED ACROSS ALL DISK ) Most common secure RAID level. Except that data are transferred to disks by independent read and write operations. Instead of a dedicated parity disk, parity information is spread across all the drives.
- 17. Ideal use Application servers. Advantages Read data transactions are very fast while write data are somewhat slow. Disadvantages Disk failures have an effect on throughput. This is complex technology.
- 18. APPLICATION Bank. Video streaming. Application Server. Photoshop image retouching station.
- 19. ADVANTAGES 0F RAID RAID allows form of backup of the data in the storage . Its is Hot Swappable. Ensures data reliability, increase in performance. Increase the parity check. Disk Stripping make multiple smaller disks look like one large disk.
- 20. DISADVANTAGES o It cannot completely protect your data. o System should support RAID drives. o Difficult to configure a RAID system. o Costly, must purchase and maintain RAID controllers and dedicated hard drives. o It may slower the system performance. o RAID is not data protection, but to increase access speed.
- 21. CONCLUSION Overall it provides systems with a variety of benefits depending upon the version implemented. Most users will likely opt to use the RAID 0 for increased performance without the loss of storage space. This is primarily because redundancy is not an issue for the average user.
