● RAID1+0 (Striping of Pairs of Drives for Mirroring)
RAID1+0 combines the high I/O performance of RAID0 (striping) with the reliability of RAID1 (mirroring).

● RAID5 (Striping with Distributed Parity)
Data is divided into blocks and allocated across multiple drives together with parity information created from
the data in order to ensure the redundancy of the data.
