WHAT
IS
RAID?
RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks)
is a standardized scheme for multiple-disk database design.
The RAID scheme consists of 7
levels:
● RAID has also been applied to
computers in a simpler form and
suitable for more operating systems.
including Windows 98 or Windows
2000.
RAID 0 .
.
- But RAID 0 goes further than simply distributing the data
across a disk array: The data are striped across the available
disks.
- All of the user and system data are viewed as being stored
on a logical disk. - The logical disk is divided into strips; these
strips may be physical blocks, sectors, or some other unit.

Positive aspects
1. A read request can be serviced by either of the
two disks that contains the requested data,
whichever one involves the minimum seek time
plus rotation.
2. A write request requires that both
corresponding strips be updated, but this can be
done in parallel.
3. When a drive fails, the data may still be
accessed from the second drive.

The principal disadvantage: the cost
● it requires twice the disk space of the logical disk
that it supports
=> a RAID 1 configuration is likely to be limited to
drives that store system software and data and other
highly critical files.
● RAID 1 provides real- time copy of all data so that in
the event of a disk failure, all of the critical data are
still immediately available.
