How to Evaluate a RAID

Explore how to evaluate different RAID designs by analyzing their capacity, reliability, and performance. Understand RAID levels 0, 1, and 4/5, and how these impact storage efficiency and fault tolerance to make informed decisions in persistent storage systems.

We'll cover the following...

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 NN disks each with ...
