PERC H200.book Page 15 Tuesday, July 13, 2010 4:15 PM About RAID RAID is a group of multiple independent physical disks that provide high performance or better data availability by increasing the number of drives used for saving and accessing data. A RAID disk subsystem improves I/O performance and data availability. The physical disk group appears to the host system as a single storage unit. Data throughput improves because multiple disks can be accessed simultaneously. RAID systems als

PERC H200.book Page 17 Tuesday, July 13, 2010 4:15 PM RAID 10 RAID 10 requires two or more mirrored sets working together. Multiple RAID 1 sets are combined to form a single array. Data is striped across all mirrored drives. Since each drive is mirrored in RAID 10, no delay is encountered because no parity calculation is done. This RAID strategy can tolerate the loss of multiple drives as long as two drives of the same mirrored pair do not fail. RAID 10 volumes provide high data throughp
