What RAID should I use for Synology?
RAID 5 is most recommended for NAS deployment since it strikes a solid balance between performance and redundancy. With a minimum of three drives required, a single drive is locked away for holding all the necessary data to rebuild a storage medium in the case of a failure.
Is raid10 faster than RAID 1?
Raid 10 is the combination of raid0 and raid1. Its performs faster for read and write than raid1.
Which RAID is best for redundancy?
If you need solid performance but also need a level of redundancy, RAID 10 is the best way to go. Keep in mind that you will lose half your usable storage, so plan accordingly! Redundancy: If redundancy is most important to you, you will be safe choosing either a RAID 10 or a RAID 60.
What happens if a drive fails in RAID 0?
When a RAID 0 volume fails or is disconnected, the data on the hard drive is no longer accessible. If a hard drive is disconnected, you may be able to recover the volume. If a hard drive fails, you cannot recover the data.
What is the best RAID array?
The best RAID configuration for your storage system will depend on whether you value speed, data redundancy or both. If you value speed most of all, choose RAID 0. If you value data redundancy most of all, remember that the following drive configurations are fault-tolerant: RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 6 and RAID 10.
Is RAID 0 fault tolerant?
Unfortunately, RAID 0 lacks data redundancy, ergo, it is not a fault-tolerant array. If one of the disk drives in the array fails, all the data is lost. In other words, RAID 0 should be avoided like the plague in mission-critical applications, where a total loss of data could have catastrophic consequences.
What is the difference between RAID 1 0 and 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.
