RAID Levels and Corresponding Applications

RAID 0

Striping without redundancy. Suitable for applications requiring high performance and where data redundancy is not a concern.

RAID 1

Mirroring for data redundancy. Ideal for applications where data integrity and fault tolerance are critical, such as database servers.

RAID 5

Striping with distributed parity. Offers a balance between performance and redundancy, suitable for file and application servers.

RAID 6

Similar to RAID 5 but with dual parity. Provides higher fault tolerance, suitable for critical data storage and large-scale applications.

RAID 10 (RAID 1+0)

Combines mirroring and striping. Offers both high performance and fault tolerance, commonly used in high-demand environments like enterprise databases.
