What is RAID? Why do I need it?

What

Introduction

• What is RAID? • Why do I need RAID?

Create a single large volume Gain more system performance * Gain redundancy *

RAID is to group multiple hard drives which you install in the system, and gain a pool of storage resources

* Depends on RAID mode

What

RAID 1 (Mirroring)

• Disk Mirroring: Duplicate the data between two hard disks• Use 2 hard disks• System capacity = ½ of Raw Capacity• Redundancy: Allow 1 hard disk failure

What

RAID 5

• Minimum use 3 disks to compose a RAID 5• System capacity = Raw capacity – 1 x HDD’s capacity, (N-1) x ___ TB• Redundancy: Allow 1 hard disk failure at the same time

Example: 4 x 4TB used for a RAID 5 Total system capacity = 12TB / 4TBx (4-1) = 12TB You invest 1 HDD’s capacity. It allows 1 HDD failure at the same time

What

RAID 6

• Minimum use 4 disks to compose a RAID 6• System capacity = Raw capacity – 1 x HDD’s capacity, (N-2) x ___ TB• Redundancy: Allow 2 hard disk failure at the same time

Example: 6 x 4TB used for a RAID 6 Total system capacity = 16TB / 4TBx (6-2) = 16TB You invest 2 HDD’s capacity. It allows 2 HDD failure at the same time

What

Hot-Spare Drive

• Specify a hard disk as the “stand by” one. In case of any hard disk failure in the RAID group, the hot spare drive will automatically join and replace the failure disk

One extra spare drive investment is required

What

V

• RAID 1 (Mirroring) is popular for 2 bay systems

Invest 1 hard disk; ½ capacity.

Invest 1 hard disk; N x TB capacity.

• RAID 5 is economic choice for a single large volume

Invest 2 hard disk; (N-2) x TB.

Invest 1 hard disk; (N-1) x TB.

• RAID 6 is the mode giving higher redundancy

Invest 2 hard disk; (N-2) x TB.

Invest 1 hard disk; N x TB.

When

When should I use a NAS?

QNAP NAS vs Windows PC When

RAID? YES NO Industrial grade quality & reliability? YES NO Control 4 certified? YES NO Blue Screen of death? NO YES Crashes? NO YES Virus? NO YES Constant Updates? NO YES Hard Drive Capacity Limit 20 Terabytes 2 Terabytes

How Much Capacity?

•Total Size = drive number x drive size•Drive sizes = 2TB, 3TB, 4TB… etc

2 x 5TB =10TB

4 x 5TB =20TB

6 x 5TB = 30TB

16 x 5TB = 80TB

24 x 5TB = 120TB

Does Size Really Matter? How many downloaded movies fit on
