【Bits of knowledge】 About RAID
It is the technology for securing performance and fault tolerance simultaneously by distributing data to two or more hard disks. It is divided into the level to 0-6 levels, and we take one of these levels, named RAID5. In case of RAID 5, data and error-detecting code (parity) are written in three or more hard disks at the same time. When an error occurs on one disk, it becomes possible to restore the data by using information saved in other disks.
