78 Appendix C: RAID Basics Overview A Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) is a n array of several hard di sks that provide data security and high perf ormance. A RAI D system accesses several hard disks simultaneously, which improves I/O performance over a single h ard disk.
79 This is excellent for complet e data security. RAID 5 RAID 5 offers data secu rity and good perf ormance. It is best s uited for networks that perform many small I/O transact ions at the same time, as well as applications that require data secu rity such as office auto mation and online customer service.
80 RAID Level Percentage Used RAID 0 100% RAID 1 20% RAID 5 80% RAID 6 60% RAID 10 40% JBOD 100% NOTE RAID 10 allows onl y 4 disks and one as spare disk.
