There are many benefits to RAID-enabled servers, for any workload, but especially those that include an AI strategy. AI GPU Servers rely mostly on the GPU to do all the important work but the outputs need to be stored somewhere. We explain the main RAID modes below:

Below you can see our guidance for RAID design:

RAID 0:

• Minimum number of drives required: 2
• Performance: High
• Redundancy: Low
• Efficiency: High

RAID 1:

• Minimum number of drives required: 2
• Performance: Average
• Redundancy: High
• Efficiency: Low

RAID 5:

• Minimum number of drives required: 3
• Performance: Average
• Redundancy: High
• Efficiency: High

RAID 6:

• Minimum number of drives required: 4
• Performance: Average
• Redundancy: High
• Efficiency: High

RAID 1+0:

• Minimum number of drives required: 4
• Performance: Very High
• Redundancy: Very High
• Efficiency: Low

RAID 5+0:

• Minimum number of drives required: 6
• Performance: High
• Redundancy: High
• Efficiency: Average

RAID 6+0:

• Minimum number of drives required: 8
• Performance: High
• Redundancy: High
• Efficiency: Average
