Chapter 5 Storage shows disks in a single JBOD volume. Data is not written across disks but written sequentially to each disk until it's full. Table 21 JBOD A1 B1 A2 B2 A3 B3 A4 B4 DISK 1 DISK 2 RAID 0 RAID 0 spreads data evenly across two or more disks (data striping) with no mirroring nor parity for data redundancy, so if one disk fails the entire volume will be lost. The major benefit of RAID 0 is performance. The following figure shows two disks in a single RAID 0 volume. Data can be written and read across disks simultaneously for faster performance. Table 22 RAID 0 A1 A2 A3 A4 A5 A6 A7 A8 DISK 1 DISK 2 RAID 0 capacity is the size of the smallest disk multiplied by the number of disks you have configured at RAID 0 on the NSA. For example, if you have two disks of sizes 100 GB and 200 GB respectively in a RAID 0 volume, then the maximum capacity is 200 GB (2 * 100 GB, the smallest disk size) and the remaining space (100 GB) is unused. Typical applications for RAID 0 are non-critical data (or data that changes infrequently and is backed up regularly) requiring high write speed such as audio, video, graphics, games and so on. RAID 1 RAID 1 creates an exact copy (or mirror) of a set of data on another disk. This is useful when data backup is more important than data capacity. The following NSA-220 Plus User's Guide 123
