RAID5

Even better, if you use 4 or more memory cards at a time, you can set them up as a RAID 5 array for extra space and redundancy.

Avoid RAID 5 due to its inappropriateness for write-intensive activity.

If data must be quickly recoverable, consider mirroring the transaction log and putting the database on a RAID 5 disk.

In a traditional RAID 5 architecture, all disks must have their data within the stripe, or the stripe is inconsistent.

The storage should be optimized with a proper RAID configuration, such as a RAID 5 setup with a hot spare disk.

A traditional RAID 5 system uses data from other disks in the set to rebuild data for the new drive.

The two servers were connected to a SSA shared disk array 7133-020 with RAID 5 mirroring and a total of 136. 1GB of storage.

RAID 5 offers the highest read data transaction rate of all levels along with a medium write rate.

The RAID5 array will consist of both active and spare partitions.

If you need to use multiple disks to increase capacity for one logical partition, use RAID5.

Avoiding RAID5 (unless it's used with an efficient storage device such as Shark).

RAID 5 offers lower performance, compared to RAID 0 or RAID 1, but greater reliability and faster recovery.

Horizontal scale: you can run a RAID5 with 4 disks, or 12, or 20; more disks gives you more drive space and (generally) better performance.

Avoid RAID 5 for data, indexes, and log.

RAID 5 provides redundancy of all data on the array.

Vinum implements virtual disk drive management and can cope with RAID 0, RAID 1, and RAID 5.

We are using RAID5, so we will not mirror the logical volumes.

They can ship in RAID 0 or RAID 5 configurations and are meant for particularly data-intensive tasks like virtualization.

For example, RAID 6 is very similar to RAID 5, except that it has dual parity.

As an example from the hardware world, a RAID5 disk array offers true scaling:
