RAID stands for Redundant Array of Independent Disks. RAID is a method of combining several hard drives into one unit. It offers fault tolerance and higher throughput levels than a single hard drive or group of independent hard drives.
This RAID calculator computes array characteristics given the disk capacity, the number of disks, and the array type.
Calculates for RAID levels:
RAID Level 0 (Stripe set)
RAID Level 1 (Mirror)
RAID Level 0+1 (Stripe+Mirror)
RAID Level 3 (Byte-level striping with dedicated parity)
RAID Level 4 (Block-level striping with dedicated parity)
RAID Level 5 (Stripe with parity)
