When should RAID 0 be used?
RAID 0 - Good if data is unimportant and can be lost, but performance is critical (such as with cache). RAID 1 - Good if you are looking to inexpensively gain additional data redundancy and/or read speeds. (This is a good base level for those looking to achieve high uptime and increase the performance of backups.)
Why are some companies prefer to use RAID 10 over RAID 0 or 1?
Raid 10 has the ability to store more data when using many drives, it rebuilds the raid array much faster (depending on number of drives in the array) after hard drive replacement. In some raid 10 configurations you can have more than 1 drive fail and recover.
What is the advantage of RAID 1 0 over RAID 0 1?
While RAID 1+0 is similar to RAID 0+1, the reversed order of the numbers indicates the two RAID levels are layered in the opposite order. RAID 1+0 mirrors two drives together and then creates a striped set with the pair. RAID 0+1 creates two stripe sets and then mirrors them.
Why should I use RAID 1?
When is RAID 1 used? Combining hard disks in a RAID 1 is always worthwhile when one requires high availability of their stored data. Since the storage of these redundant arrays is relatively expensive, they are not suitable for backing up large amounts of data.
