What is RAID? And the importance of RAID 10
RAID (an acronym for redundant array of independent disk) has been around for years and is a virtual software or hardware-based that provides a solution to storing multiple disks together into a single array for easier data management which becomes useful in cases of data failure or disappearance. RAID has five top modes, 0, 1, 5, 6, and 10, to choose from, depending on your application. RAID 0 and 1 remain the most popular and economical as RAID 0 stripes data across multiple drives with no redundancy while RAID 1 mirrors data and provides the highest level of redundancy. If the best of the world combines, it becomes RAID 10. But to understand RAID 10, it is crucial to understand the basic RAID modes.
