Answer / manoj
Raid is Redundant Array of Independent Disks/Device.It is
Technology to improve Disk read & write Performence and
FaultTolerance., By adding new disk u can recover data if
one of disk goes down / fails. parity is a calculated
technique to rebuild data from disk fails.
levels in Raid
0 - stripping
1 - Mirroring
3 - Striping with Parity
5 - Striping with Parity with more fault tolerant widley
used.
