RAID Levels: Redundant Array of Independent Disks

Standard RAID levels comprise of configurations that employ the techniques of * STRIPING * MIRRORING * PARITY  to create large reliable data stores using general purpose HDDs. Levels are standardized by SNIA (Storage Networking Industry Association) in Common RAID Disk Drive Format (DDF) RAID 0 >> STRIPING (No fail-over, No Redundancy, Total loss of information if disk fails, each disk size will be of smallest disk size in the set of the disks) RAID 1 and its variants >> MIRRORING (Copy of write will be in more than one disk, Redundancy, less performant) RAID 5 >> Distributed PARITY RAID 6 >> Dual PARITY Source:   Wikipedia
