RAID level Feature Required number of drives
RAID1+0
The high I/O performance of RAID0 (striping) is
combined with the reliability of RAID1 (mirroring).
2D+2D - 16D+16D
RAID5
Data divided into units of blocks and allocated
across multiple drives together with parity
information created from the data.
2D+1P - 15D+1P
RAID6
The use of double parity allows the full recovery of
lost data even in the event that two of the drives fail.
3D+2P - 14D+2P
RAID5+0
Multiple RAID5 volumes are RAID0 striped. For
large capacity configurations, use of RAID5+0
instead of RAID5 results in enhanced performance,
improved reliability, and shorter rebuilding times.
(2D+1P) x 2 - (15D+1P) x 2
RAID1
Data is mirrored to two drives.
If one drive fails, the other drive continues operation
(mirroring).
1D+1M
RAID0
Data is split in unit of blocks and stored across
multiple drives (striping).
RAID0 has no data redundancy.
