improved by spreading the I/O
load across many channels and
drives
No parity calculation overhead is
involved
being lost
Should not be used in mission
critical environments
Simplest RAID storage subsystem
design
Can increase read performance by
processing data requests in
parallel since the same data
resides on two different drives
Very high disk overhead - uses
only 50% of total capacity
High Read data transaction rate
Medium Write data transaction
rate
Good aggregate transfer rate
Most versatile RAID level
Disk failure has a medium impact
on throughput
Implemented as a mirrored RAID
Volume whose segments are RAID
0 RAID Volumes
High I/O rates are achieved
thanks to multiple stripe
segments
Very high disk overhead – uses
only 50% of total capacity
