11. 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

12. 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

13. 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

14. 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

15. 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

16. 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.

18. 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

19. 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
