  2. Non-standard RAID levels - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-standard_RAID_levels

    Row diagonal parity is a scheme where one dedicated disk of parity is in a horizontal "row" like in RAID 4, but the other dedicated parity is calculated from blocks permuted ("diagonal") like in RAID 5 and 6. [1] Alternative terms for "row" and "diagonal" include "dedicated" and "distributed". [2]

  3. Standard RAID levels - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_RAID_levels

    Several methods, including dual check data computations (parity and Reed–Solomon), orthogonal dual parity check data and diagonal parity, have been used to implement RAID Level 6." [29] The second block is usually labeled Q, with the first block labeled P. Typically the P block is calculated as the parity (XORing) of the data, the same as RAID 5.

  4. Parity bit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parity_bit

    In the case of a RAID 3 array of 12 drives, 11 drives participate in the XOR calculation shown above and yield a value that is then stored on the dedicated parity drive. Extensions and variations on the parity bit mechanism "double," "dual," or "diagonal" parity, are used in RAID-DP.

  5. Nested RAID levels - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nested_RAID_levels

    RAID 01, also called RAID 0+1, is a RAID level using a mirror of stripes, achieving both replication and sharing of data between disks. [3] The usable capacity of a RAID 01 array is the same as in a RAID 1 array made of the same drives, in which one half of the drives is used to mirror the other half.

  6. RAID - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAID

    RAID (/ r eɪ d /; redundant array of inexpensive disks or redundant array of independent disks) [1] [2] is a data storage virtualization technology that combines multiple physical data storage components into one or more logical units for the purposes of data redundancy, performance improvement, or both.

  7. RAID levels - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAID_level

    RAID stands for redundant array of independent disks (or, formerly, redundant array of inexpensive disks). RAID levels may refer to: Standard RAID levels, all the RAID configurations defined in the Common RAID Disk Drive Format standard, which is maintained by the Storage Networking Industry Association

  8. Reed–Solomon error correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reed–Solomon_error...

    A commonly used code encodes = eight-bit data symbols plus 32 eight-bit parity symbols in an =-symbol block; this is denoted as a (,) = (,) code, and is capable of correcting up to 16 symbol errors per block.

  9. Parity drive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parity_Drive

    A parity drive is a hard drive used in a RAID array to provide fault tolerance. For example, RAID 3 uses a parity drive to create a system that is both fault tolerant and, because of data striping, fast. [1] Basically, a single data bit is added to the end of a data block to ensure the number of bits in the message is either odd or even. [2]
