As we will soon see, there are a number of different approaches to building a RAID. Each of these approaches has different characteristics that are worth evaluating, in order to understand their strengths and weaknesses.
Specifically, we will evaluate each RAID design along the following three axes:
Capacity
The first axis is capacity; given a set of disks each with ...
