Supported RAID Levels by the Broadcom 9560-16I
RAID 0 – Data Striping for Maximum Performance
RAID 0 uses data striping to split data across multiple drives simultaneously. This improves read and write performance by utilizing parallelism but offers no fault tolerance. RAID 0 is ideal for applications that prioritize speed and can tolerate data loss.
RAID 1 – Mirroring for Redundant Protection
RAID 1 ensures that data is mirrored across two drives. This redundancy provides an extra layer of protection, as the system can continue to operate if a single drive fails, with no data loss.
RAID 5 – Striping with Distributed Parity
RAID 5 combines striping and parity across multiple drives, ensuring both performance and fault tolerance. Parity data is distributed across the drives, allowing data recovery in the event of a single disk failure.
RAID 6 – Enhanced Fault Tolerance with Double Parity
RAID 6 offers an extra layer of fault tolerance by implementing double distributed parity across multiple drives. This allows for data recovery even if two drives fail simultaneously, making it ideal for mission-critical enterprise storage needs.
RAID 10 – Combining RAID 1 and RAID 0 for Performance and Redundancy
RAID 10 combines the performance benefits of RAID 0 with the fault-tolerance features of RAID 1. This configuration mirrors data while also striping it across multiple drives, providing a balance of speed and reliability for enterprise servers.
