Chapter 1. Overview of the IBM Storwize V7000 system 17
RAID 0 arrays stripe data across the drives. The system supports RAID 0 arrays with just one
member, which is similar to traditional JBOD attach. RAID 0 arrays have no redundancy, so
they do not support hot spare takeover or immediate exchange. A RAID 0 array can be
formed by one to eight drives.
RAID 1 arrays stripe data over mirrored pairs of drives. A RAID 1 array mirrored pair is rebuilt
independently. A RAID 1 array can be formed by two drives only.
RAID 5 arrays stripe data over the member drives with one parity strip on every stripe. RAID 5
arrays have single redundancy. The parity algorithm means that an array can tolerate no more
than one member drive failure. A RAID 5 array can ...
