RAID Basics: simple RAID levels RAID levels used less RAID 2
This was used with very large computers. Special expensive disks and a special controller are needed to use RAID Level 2. Special calculations are done. Data is split up into static sequences of bits. 8 data bits and 2 parity bits are put together. Then a Hamming code is calculated. The fragments of the Hamming code are then distributed over the different disks.
