Appendix C RAID 14 (1) RAID0 This method slices data (send from the host) in a striping size and distributes the data to the physical disks of the RAID. If processing is performed concurrently for the physical disks of the RAID, the data transfer time is reduced to 1/(number of PDs) and data can be ...

Appendix C RAID 15 (2) RAID1 This method writes data (sent from the host) onto two disks (or into 2 disk groups). (Mirroring) RAID1 has the same data in dual configuration. Thus, even if one disk fails, the other disk enables access to the data. In comparison with a single disk, RAID1 achieves the e...

Appendix C RAID 16 (3) RAID5 This method slices data (sent from the host) in certain striping size and distributes the data to the physical disks of the RAID. It also distributes the parity data to the disks. Since RAID5 distributes parity data to multiple disks, it enables concurrent processing at ...

Appendix C RAID 18 (5) RAID10 This method slices data (sent from the host) and distributes (RAID0) the data to pairs of mirrored disks (RAID1). Since RAID10 distributes data to multiple disks, it enables concurrent processing and makes quick access. In addition, it has the same data in dual configur...
