Tonikaku Cawaii - Chapter 275
Comments for chapter "Chapter 275"
That might be oversimplifying RAID.
RAID combines multiple drives into a single storage entity.
RAID can do a few things.
- Increase throughput. Have many drives share the burden of writing/reading data, by delegating parts of a file across those many drives.
- Create backups. Data is cloned during storage. Your computer can tolerate one (or more) drive failures, so long as there is sufficient number of drives still alive. The cloning process is time-consuming though, so read/write performance drops
Different RAID levels play around with different values for 1) and 2), so you can change how many drive failures to tolerate, or how much space to waste for cloning, or how fast your read/write performance ought to be.
If your computer fails to start because of a drive failure, it means RAID has failed. You have exceeded the maximum number of tolerable drive failures. Disk recovery must be done manually.
If RAID is working, your computer will appear to be fully functional and usable even with 1 or 2 disk failures. All you get is a warning LED light or a warning message in your RAID software, which you can ignore until such time when additional drives fail and exceed RAID’s tolerances.
