    Understanding Drive Segments A drive segment is a disk drive or portion of a disk drive that is used to create an array. A disk drive can include both RAID segments (segments that are part of an array) and available segments. Each segment can be part of only one logical device at a time. If a disk

However, capacity is only 50 percent of independent disk drives. If the RAID 1 array is built from different- sized disk drives, the free space,

    data protection, and striping improves performance. Parity data is an error-correcting redundancy that's used to re-create data if a disk drive fails. In RAID 5 arrays, parity data (represented by Ps in the next figure) is striped evenly across the disk drives with the stored data. Drive segment

    and can't be shared with other logical disk drives. A distributed spare improves the speed at which the array is rebuilt following a disk drive failure. A RAID 5EE array protects your data and increases read and write speeds. However, capacity is reduced by two disk drives' worth of space, which is

    data are striped separately across all disk drives in the array. RAID 6 arrays provide extra protection for your data because they can recover failures. However, the extra parity calculation slows performance (compared to RAID 5 arrays). RAID 6 arrays must be built from at least four disk drives
