RAID protects data and improves storage performance and availability, but it can be confusing. Read about the different levels of RAID, the pros and cons, and where they work best.
RAID is a common method for protecting application data on HDDs and solid-state storage, with different types of RAID balancing the level of protection and performance against the cost. The greater the performance or the level of protection, the higher the cost.
An array's RAID level defines the level of performance or protection that the RAID array provides. Previously, RAID had only a few levels. As data storage has evolved, however, the number of RAID levels has increased.
