What is RAID?
RAID stands for Redundant Array of Independent Disks and allows you to configure your hard drives to provide improved performance or reliability. Fasthosts offers a range of RAID configurations to help you get the most out of your server.
What are the different types of RAID?
RAID 0 (Minimum 2 hard disks required)
Striped disk array – data is distributed across several hard disks providing improved speed and no reduction in total storage space. RAID 0 is included FREE with your Dedicated Server.
RAID 5 (Minimum 3 hard disks required)
Striped disks with parity, protects data against loss of any one hard disk. The total storage space provided by the array is reduced by one disk. RAID 5 is included FREE with your Dedicated Server.
RAID 1 (Minimum 2 hard disks required)
Data is mirrored across two, or more, hard disks providing full redundancy as data is never lost as long as one disk survives. The total capacity of the array is equivalent to the capacity of the smallest disk in the array.
RAID 10 (Minimum 4 hard disks required)
Combines striping and mirroring to provide very high reliability and high performance. Offers the same high fault-tolerance as RAID 1 with the performance boost of striping (RAID 0). RAID 10 is included FREE with your Dedicated Server.
