RAID Types and Tradeoffs

2-1

This chapter explains RAID types you can choose for your storage

system LUNs. If you already know about RAID types and know

which ones you want, you can skip this background information and

skip to Chapter 5. Topics are

• Introducing RAID ..............................................................................2-2

• RAID Types.........................................................................................2-4

• RAID Benefits and Tradeoffs..........................................................2-12

• Guidelines for RAID Types.............................................................2-17

• Sample Applications for RAID Types...........................................2-19

This chapter applies primarily to storage systems with storage processors

(SPs). For a storage system without SPs (a DAE-only or JBOD system), RAID

types are limited by the RAID software you run on the server. The RAID

terms and definitions used here conform to generally accepted standards.
