RAID0

  • Configuration: Two identical hard drives.
  • Feature: Uses ‘striping’ to partition data across both drives, doubling the data write rate.

RAID1

  • Configuration: Two identical hard drives.
  • Feature: Mirrors data across both drives, providing redundancy and parallel data writing with minimal overhead.

RAID10

  • Configuration: Combines RAID0 and RAID1 across four identical hard drives.
  • Feature: Data is both mirrored and striped, offering benefits of both RAID0 and RAID1.

RAID5

  • Configuration: Multiple drives.
  • Feature: Uses one drive’s worth of space for redundancy, providing fault tolerance with less overhead compared to RAID1.

RAID6

  • Configuration: Similar to RAID5 but with additional redundancy.
  • Feature: Requires one more drive than RAID5, offering extra protection against data loss.
