RAID is one of the primary core technologies of the entire storage industry. RAID is responsible for the data access control between the hard disc and host. It manages all of the storage spaces in the hard discs, reading and writing, data allocation optimization, and access function enhancement. Most importantly, it protects all of the data in the hard discs, provides online backup mechanism and allows the system to always stay on. The RAID levels are roughly classified as follows:
RAID 0 (Striping)
The data is read/written to more than two hard discs dispersedly and simultaneously to increase the data transmission speed and achieve the load balance. RAID 0 is the only RAID level without backup redundancy function

RAID 1 (Mirroring)
The data is backed up and copied several hard discs (even number of hard discs) simultaneously to back up the data. If one hard disc is damaged, the identical data backup disc takes over all the jobs immediately.

RAID 0+1 (Striping and Mirroring)
It provides RAID 0 data speed-up and RAID 1 data protection functions.

RAID 3 (Block and Parity)
It gathers the parity check codes in each information and stores them into one disk drive and stores the data into each hard disc in a scattered way

RAID 5 (Block and Parity Striping)
