2 Introduction to RAID RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) is an array of multiple independent hard disk drives that provide high performance and fault tolerance. A RAID disk subsystem improves I/O performance. The RAID array appears to the host computer as a single storage unit or as multiple logical units. I/O is faster because drives can be accessed simultaneously. RAID improves data storage reliability and fault tolerance. You can prevent data loss caused by drive failure by reconstr

RAID Levels RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) is a collection of specifications that describe a system for ensuring the reliability and stability of data stored on large disk subsystems. A RAID system can be implemented in a number of different versions (or RAID Levels). The standard RAID levels are 0, 1, 3, and 5. MegaRAID supports all standard RAID levels and RAID levels 10, 30, and 50, special RAID versions supported by MegaRAID. Consistency Check In RAID, check consistency verifies
