RAID 1 and RAID 5 may sound similar , but these two are different RAID levels . While their processes may differ, the two configurations (RAID 5, RAID 1) are geared towards the same purpose – fault tolerance. This article will discuss the differences between these two RAID levels and how you can utilize them in boosting the performance of your storage devices. RAID 1 is a process of duplicating data on storage drives. It usually uses two drives but can be more if required. This process of data mirroring ensures that you can still access your data in the event of disks or drives failure. RAID 5 , on the other hand, is also a configuration that is aimed at ensuring fault tolerance. However, this configuration does not mirror or duplicate data. Instead, it makes use of striping, distributed parity, and checksum. This means that in this array, data is similarly striped across numerous drives to that of RAID 0. However, unlike RAID 0, it stores parity data. And unlike RAID 4 that uses...
