Levels of RAID D1 D2 P1 D3 P2 D4 Disk 1 Disk 2 Disk 3 AF000289 Figure 40. RAID 5 - Data Striping with Striped Parity RAID 5 + Spare In a RAID 5 + spare configuration, three of the disks use RAID 5, and the fourth is empty. If any of the three disks fails, it is immediately rebuilt using the fourth spare disk. As a result, you can remove the failed disk and still have the ongoing fast performance and data protection offered by RAID 5. When the failed disk is repaired or replaced and re-installed into the storage system, it automatically becomes the spare for the other functioning three. You can use RAID 5 + spare only if your storage system has four disks. If the disks are not the same size, the smallest of the disks determines how much disk space is available for data, similar to RAID 5. D1 D2 P1 D3 P2 D4 Disk 1 Disk 2 Disk 3 Spare AF000291 Figure 41.
