Introduction
Raid is an abbreviation for Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks which is a type of
technology that is utilized in intensification and enhancement of the performance as well as the
reliability of data storage. A RAID system comprises of two or more drives functioning in
parallel. The form taken by the disk is that of a hard disc as well as in some cases others utilize
the technology for solid state drives (SSD). Due to the different specific conditions, there are
various RAID levels (Lynn, 2014).These levels are not standardized by any standardization
committee or any industrial group. These lead to a situation whereby firms usually invent their
own rare numbers as well as implementations.
There are a number of raid levels depending on their various uses and they include:
RAID 0 used for stripping, RAID 1 used for mirroring, RAID 5 used in stripping as well as
parity, RAID 6 used on stripping as well as double parity and finally RAID 10 used in the
combination of mirroring as well as stripping. RAID functionality utilizes software to
accomplish its actions and it can be stored on a different controller card usually referred to as a
hardware RAID controller or stored just in a simple driver. In some cases of various Windows
versions like Windows Server 2012 and Mac OS X have the RAID functionality software (Lynn,
2014).The cost of Hardware RAID controllers is far too much expensive than the pure software
although they deliver far much more better performance most especially with the use of RAID 5
as well as RAID 6. RAID systems can be utilized by various interfaces which may include:
SATA, Fiber Channel (FC), SCSI as well as IDE. There are types of systems that utilize the
SATA disks internally as well as possess a FireWire or SCSI possessed by the host system. The
definitions of a storage system can be defined as JBOD which are initials for Just a Bunch of
Disks. These refer to the types of disks that do not utilize specific RAID level but are stand-alone
