Creations of different RAID Levels and Running IO's

Question

Accepted Answer

RAID levels are created to improve data redundancy and performance. IO's are run to test the performance of the RAID levels.

RAID 0 - Striping, no redundancy
RAID 1 - Mirroring, full redundancy
RAID 5 - Striping with parity, good balance of performance and redundancy
RAID 6 - Striping with double parity, better redundancy than RAID 5
RAID 10 - Combination of RAID 0 and RAID 1, high performance and redundancy
IO's are run to test the read and write performance of the RAID levels
Different IO patterns are used to simulate different workloads
Examples of IO patterns include sequential read/write, random read/write, and mixed read/write
