Software RAID:When drives are connected to the server motherboard without a RAID controller, the configuration is managed by the Operating System’s software. This is the cheaper option; all you need to do is connect the drives and configure the OS. However, you are restricted to the RAID l...
RAID 1 is quite known for its data-protecting capabilities via its mirroring technique. By this, we mean that the same data is stored, or mirrored on two different drives. Every piece of data written to one drive is simultaneously written to another drive, creating an exact copy (mirror) o...
It is a technology to combine several inexpensive drives to equal or exceed the performance of a larger and more expensive disk drive. There are many different types of RAID, but VGN-AR Series adopts RAID0 as the default and it is changeable to RAID1. RAID 0 is called “Striping.” It...
For effective communication between servers and storage devices, a LUN (Logical Unit Number) is used to identify the storage devices within the RAID Group. LUN can be made up of various configurations, such as a single drive, multiple storage devices, a full RAID array, or a portion of a ...
What is RAID? What does it do? Which array should you choose? Here's everything you need to know baout RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10.
RAID (redundant array of independent disks) is a way of storing the same data in different places on multiple hard disks or solid-state drives (SSDs) to protect data in the case of a drive failure. There are different RAID levels, however, and not all have the goal of providingredundancy...
SSD RAID (solid-state drive RAID) is a methodology commonly used to protect data by distributingredundantdata blocks across multipleSSDs. The phraseredundant array of inexpensive disks(RAID) -- later changed toredundant array of independent disks-- emerged in the late 1980s when mechanical hard di...
If you’re not sure about choosing between SHR and RAID, this article can help you make the right decision.
A RAID controller, also referred to as a disk array controller, is a storage component responsible for overseeing the disk drives within a RAID infrastructure. The term RAID stands for Redundant Array of Independent Disks
RAID is worth checking out if you desire fast transfer speeds or want to protect your data against drive corruption (or even both, at the same time)
