Improving Performance and Fault Tolerance with RAIDs
You’ll often want to give important data increased protection from drive failures. To do this, you can use RAID technology to add fault tolerance to your file systems. With RAID you increase data integrity and availability by creating redundant copies of the data. You can also use RAID to improve your disks’ performance.
Different implementations of RAID technology are available. These implementations are described in terms of levels. Currently, RAID levels 0 to 5 are defined. Each RAID level offers different features. Windows Server 2008 supports RAID levels 0, 1, and 5. You can use RAID 0 to improve the performance of your drives. You use RAID 1 and 5 to provide fault tolerance for data.
