RAID Types and Trade-offs Use a RAID 0 Group (nonredundant individual access array) for applications where ◆ High availability is not important. ◆ You can afford to lose access to all data stored on a LUN if a single disk fails. ◆ Overall performance is very important. Use an individual unit for applications where ◆ High availability is not important. ◆ Speed of write access is somewhat important. Use a hot spare where ◆ In any RAID 5, RAID 3, RAID 1/0 or RAID 1 Group, high availability is so important that you want to regain data redundancy quickly without human intervention if any disk in the group fails. ◆ Minimizing the degraded performance caused by disk failure in a RAID 5 or RAID 3 Group is important.
