RAID Explained: Choosing the Right Storage Configuration
By TechVisit Systems2026-06-105 min read

RAID combines multiple drives to improve performance, redundancy, or both. RAID 0 stripes data for speed but offers no protection. RAID 1 mirrors data across two drives — simple and safe.
RAID 5 stripes data with parity across three or more drives, surviving a single drive failure with efficient capacity use. RAID 10 combines mirroring and striping for both speed and redundancy — the choice for databases.
Whatever you choose, RAID is not a backup. Always pair it with an off-site backup strategy for true data protection.
