RAID Mode Pros & Cons
Tags:
There are many drive types and many RAID modes available on the market today. There are pros and cons to every RAID mode and there are also benefits to onboard RAID as well as a hardware RAID card. On our RAID calculator page we list out the pros and cons to each mode, which are also listed below:
RAID 0:

RAID 0:
ADVANTAGES:
- High performance
- Easy to implement
- Highly efficient (no parity overhead)
- No redundancy
- Limited business use cases due to no fault tolerance
ADVANTAGES:
- Fault-tolerant
- Easy to recover data in case of drive failure
- Easy to implement
- Highly inefficient (100% parity overhead)
- Not scalable (becomes very costly as the number of disks increases)
ADVANTAGES:
- Fault-tolerant
- High efficiency
- Disk failure has a medium impact on throughput
- Complex controller design
ADVANTAGES:
- Fault-tolerant with increased redundancy.
- High efficiency
- Remains a great option in multi-user environments that are not write-performance sensitive
- Write performance penalty vs 5
- More expensive than 5
- Disk failure has a medium impact on throughput
- Complex controller design
ADVANTAGES:
- Fault tolerance
- High Performance
- Expensive
- High Overhead
- Very limited scalability
ADVANTAGES:
- Higher fault tolerance, better performance and higher efficiency than RAID 5
- Very Expensive
- Limited Scalability
ADVANTAGES:
- Higher fault tolerance than RAID 6
- Higher performance than RAID 6
- Higher efficiency than RAID 6
- Very Expensive
- Very complex/difficult to implement
