    16 Drive A Drive B Physical Drives • Raid 0=Striped • Data is interleaved among the physical disks o Data writes and reads are parallel o Offering maximum hard disk performance • All physical space is available (for example, two 40GB drives shown as one 80GB volume in OS) • Single hard drive
  • HP Xw6400 | Workstation RAID Support - Page 7
    Block 5 Block 6 Block 7 Block 8 Drive A Drive B Physical Drives • RAID 1 = Mirror • Data is written to two physical drives in real time • On single disk failure - no system downtime All data immediately available from other drive • Duplicate drive rebuilt upon replacement • Physical space is cut
  • HP Xw6400 | Workstation RAID Support - Page 8
    Size = Half of total physical capacity RAID 10 = Stripe + Mirror •Provides read performance of RAID 0 •Protects against single HDD failure •Provides write performance of RAID 1 •Requires minimum of four drives Data written to all drives as multiple mirrored arrays Mirrored Array Mirrored
