RAID ARRAYS

RAID supports the following types of RAID arrays: RAID 0: RAID 0 defines a disk striping scheme that improves disk read and write times for many applications. RAID 1: RAID 1 defines techniques for mirroring data. RAID 0+1: RAID 0+1 combines the techniques used in RAID 0 and RAID 1. RAID 5: RAID 5 provides fault tolerance and better utilization of disk capacity.

HOW RAID 0:

RAID WORKS
The controller stripes data across multiple drives in a RAID 0 array system. It breaks up a large file into smaller blocks and performs disk reads and writes across multiple drives in parallel. The size of each block is determined by the stripe size parameter, which you set during the creation of the RAID set based on the system environment. This technique reduces overall disk access time and offers high bandwidth.

Features and Benefits

Drives: Minimum 1, and maximum is up to 6 or 8. Depending on the platf orm. Uses: Intended for non-critical data requiring high data throughput, or any env ironment that does not require f ault tolerance. Benefits: prov ides increased data throughput, especially f or large files. No capacity loss penalty f or parity. Drawbacks: Does not deliver any fault tolerance. If any drive in the array f ails, all data is lost. Fault Tolerance: No.
Blo ck 1 Bl ock 3 Bl ock 5
Block 2 Bl ock 4 Bl ock 6

RAID 1:

Every read and write is actually carried out in parallel across 2 disk drives in a RAID 1 array system. The mirrored (backup) copy of the data can reside on the same disk or on a second redundant drive in the array. RAID 1 provides a hot-standby copy of data if the active volume or drive is corrupted or becomes unavailable because of a hardware failure. RAID techniques can be applied for high-availability solutions, or as a form of automatic backup that eliminates tedious manual backups to more expensive and less reliable media.
Drives: Minimum 2, and maximum is 2. Uses: RAID 1 is ideal f or small databases or any other application that requires f ault tolerance and minimal capacity. Benefits: Prov ides 100% data redundancy. Should one driv e f ail, the controller switches to the other drive. Drawbacks: Requires 2 driv es for the storage space of one driv e. Perf ormance is impaired during driv e rebuilds. Fault Tolerance: Yes.

Block 1 Block 2 Block 3

RAID 0+1:
RAID 0 drives can be mirrored using RAID 1 techniques. Resulting in a RAID 0+1 solution for improved performance plus resiliency.
Drives: Minimum 4, and maximum is 6 or 8, depending on the platform. Benefits: Optimizes for both fault tolerance and perf ormance, allowing for automatic redundancy. May be simultaneously used with other RAID lev els in an array, and allows for spare disks. Drawbacks: Requires twice the available disk space f or data redundancy, the same as RAID level 1. Fault Tolerance: Yes.
Block 1 Bl ock 3 Bl ock 5
Bl ock 2 Bl ock 4 Bl ock 6

Bl ock 1 Block 3 Block 5

Block 2 Block 4 Block 6

RAID 5:

RAID 5 stripes both data and parity information across three or more drives. It writes data and parity blocks across all the drives in the array. Fault tolerance is maintained by ensuring that the parity information for any given block of data is placed on a different drive from those used to store the data itself.
Drives: Minimum 3. Uses: RAID 5 is recommended for transaction processing and general purpose service. Benefits: An ideal combination of good perf ormance, good f ault tolerance, and high capacity and storage efficiency. Drawbacks: Individual block data transfer rate same as a single disk. Write perf ormance can be CPU intensiv e. Fault Tolerance: Yes.

EXT RA INFORMAT ION

If the system shutdown automatically after power on system for seconds, that means the CPU protection function has been activated. When the CPU is over heated, the motherboard will shutdown automatically to avoid a damage of the CPU, and the system may not power on again. In this case, please double check: 1. The CPU cooler surface is placed evenly with the CPU surface. 2. CPU fan is rotated normally. 3. CPU fan speed is fulfilling with the CPU speed. After confirmed, please follow steps below to relief the CPU protection function. 1. Remove the power cord from power supply for seconds. 2. Wait for seconds. 3. Plug in the power cord and boot up the system. Or you can: 1. Clear the CMOS data. (See Close CMOS Header: JCMOS1 section) 2. Wait for seconds. 3. Power on the system again.
