Firstly, we should learn some knowledge of RAID.

What Is RAID?

RAID is an acronym first defined by David A. Patterson, Garth A. Gibson, and Randy Katz at the University of California in 1987. It describes a redundant array of inexpensive disks. RAID is a technology that allowed computer users to achieve high levels of storage reliability from low-cost and less reliable PC-class disk-drive components, via the technique of arranging the devices into arrays for redundancy.

RAID stands for Redundant Array of Independent Disks. It is a system developed whereby a large number of low cost hard drives can be linked together to form a single large capacity storage device that offered superior performance, storage capacity and reliability over older storage solutions. It has been widely used and deployed method for storage in the enterprise and server markets, but over the past 5 years has become much more common in end user systems.

The standard RAID levels are a basic set of RAID configurations and employ striping, mirroring, or parity. The standard RAID levels can be nested for other benefits. The most common standard RAID levels are RAID 0, RAID 1, and RAID 5. Below is the picture of RAID 5.
