Parity on RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) refers to a method of error checking and data recovery that involves storing a parity bit or set of bits alongside data across multiple disks. This parity information allows for the reconstruction of lost data in the event of a disk failure. In RAID configurations like RAID 5 and RAID 6, the parity is distributed among the disks, enhancing data redundancy and improving fault tolerance without the need for mirroring all data. This allows RAID systems to maintain data integrity while optimizing storage efficiency.
RAID 7 is triple parity RAID 6 is double parity.
RAID DP ---Stands for RAID Dual Parity.....
Raid 5
RAID 5
RAID 3
RAID-5 provides data redundancy by using parity. Parity is a calculated value used to reconstruct data after a failure. While data is being written to a RAID-5 volume, parity is calculated by doing an exclusive OR (XOR) procedure on the data. The resulting parity is then written to the volume.
RAID level 3
parity
RAID 3
The RAID configuration you are referring to is RAID 5. It requires a minimum of three physical disks and uses striping with parity, which distributes data and parity information across all disks. This setup allows for data redundancy and improved read performance, as the parity information enables the system to recover data in case one of the disks fails. RAID 5 strikes a balance between storage efficiency, performance, and fault tolerance.
Raid 1 suppports the Mirroring if any one hard disk faild one will get the copy of the data and fault tolerent. after replacing the hard disk you have to re create the mirroring. Raid 5 supports stripped with parity the data will be deviced into blocks and stored in all the drives with the parity information. if any one or two hard disks faild the data will be available.
