The answer depends on whether one is looking to configure RAID via hardware or software. Windows is capable under disk management to run RAID via software. The first step is to convert to a dynamic disk. Then the RAID levels supported, in parentheses are Striped, 2 disks (0) Mirrored, 2 disks (1) Striped with parity, which required 3 disks (5) being the three most popular. That said if RAID is being done at the hardware level, then the operating system is oblivious to the fact that it is being raided at all and simply reads what the RAID controller tells it to. In this scenario all RAID levels are suported. For a deeper discussion on raid levels the following site is excellent. http://www.acnc.com/04_01_00.html
What else can I help you with?
What is raid volume?
A logical representation of one or more physical disks configured to provide redundant and/or large storage space for the system.
Which RAID technology stores parts of each file on different disks?
raid 0
How many disks can be used for RAID 1?
The total no. of disks that are required to make RAID 1 is 3
A group of two or more integrated hard disks is called?
Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID)
What is RAID level in DBMS?
RAID is the use of multiple disks and data distribution techniques to get better Resilience and/or Performance RAID stands for: Redundant Array of Inexpensive / Independent Disks
What is the process called when two hard drives are configured as a single volume?
RAID. There are different levels of RAID that have different features and can require even more than 2 drives to act as one drive.
What is raid and tell you about different tipes of Raid levels?
RAID is redundant array of inexpensive disks. You have a few disks that are connected and this gives you some advantages. Very simply the levels that you need to know about are: JBOD - Just a bunch of disks. If the RAID is 4 x 1.0 TB you see just that - 4 disks. RAID 0 - Striping . All the disks are connected. in the above example, you see one large 4.0TB disk RAID 1 - Mirroring. Every disk has mirror version. Half the disk can die and you loose nothing. In the above example you see a 2.0 TB disk. RAID 5 - one parity disk. If one disk dies, you loose nothing. In the above example you would see a 3.0 TB disk. RAID 6 - two parity disks. If two disks die, you loose nothing. A 8 disk system would have 6 disk of usable space. Check out Wikipedia for a full explanation.
RAID stands for what?
Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks.
Why 8mb space is left free while partioning hard disk using windows xp?
The extra unused 8 MB is for the creation of dynamic disks in Windows XP. Although not usable in the Home Edition, dynamic disks in the Professional Edition, as well as Windows Server 2003, are used to create software RAID setups.
What additional hardware would be necessary to implement each of RAID 1 and RAID 5?
Essentially that just means understanding what raid one and raid 5 are. Raid one stores the data on 2 hard disks, raid 5 stores the data on 3 to 5 disks. In either of these circumstances all the hard disks must be completely identical right down to brand cache, size etc.
What level of RAID will result in two sets of disks that contain the same information?
RAID 1, RAID 1 + 0, and RAID 5, 6.
What is the actual meaning of RAID?
RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) A disk subsystem that is used to increase performance or provide fault tolerance or both. RAID uses two or more ordinary hard disks and a RAID disk controller. In the past, RAID has also been implemented via software only. In the late 1980s, the term stood for "redundant array of inexpensive disks," being compared to large, expensive disks at the time. As hard disks became cheaper, the RAID Advisory Board changed "inexpensive" to "independent." More Questions? E-mail me at oliverbikers@yahoo.com
