RAID0 vs RAID1 | Beginner's Guide!
A computer’s storage system has always been the slowest part of the chain. Your CPU has fast cache memory, which works much slower (but still fast!) with RAM, and then we have your system drives, which are orders of magnitude slower.
RAID, or Redundant Array of Independent/Inexpensive Disks, is a method of combining multiple drives into one to improve performance, reliability, or both. With SSDs quickly replacing mechanical hard drives, we have a choice: HDD Raid vs. SSD Raid. There is no clear winner here, so let’s take a closer look at the considerations.
While there is no universal standard for RAID configurations, there are several so-called RAID “levels” that have become fairly commonplace. When comparing HDD RAID technology to SSD RAID technology, it’s important to summarize the pros and cons, and the number of drives you’ll need for each type of RAID setup. Let’s briefly review them:
