RAIDSeveral fault tolerant configurations keep data available and servers running while drives are being replaced - RAID levels that offer fault tolerance include:
  • RAID 50 (RAID 5+0) protects against failure of one drive (and failure of particular multiple drives). RAID 50 is a nested RAID method that uses RAID 0 striping across RAID 5 arrays. RAID 50 tolerates one drive failure in each spanned array without loss of data. RAID 50 requires less rebuild time than single RAID 5 arrays RAID 50 requires a minimum of six drives.
  • RAID 60 (RAID 6+0) allows administrators to split the RAID 6 storage across multiple external boxes. RAID 60 requires a minimum of eight drives. RAID 60 is a nested RAID method that uses RAID 0 block-level striping across multiple RAID 6 arrays with dual distributed parity. With the inclusion of dual parity, RAID 60 will tolerate the failure of two disks in each spanned array without loss of data.
  • RAID 6 with ADG: Allocates the equivalence of two parity drives across multiple drives and allows simultaneous write operations. Distributed Data Guarding (RAID 5): Allocates parity data across multiple drives and allows simultaneous write operations. Drive Mirroring (RAID 1 and 1+0 Striped Mirroring): Allocates half of the drive array to data and the other half to mirrored data, providing two copies of every file.
