For this class of customer, RAID with full redundancy is a must-have. Kintronics manufactures RAID systems with over 1,000 Gigabyte or 1 Terabyte. Six distinctive RAID levels have been developed and agreed upon, voluntarily, by various manufacturers. A RAID system appears as a single large hard disk to the operating system. All of the computations associated with creating the RAID set are hidden from the operating system.
RAID responds to standard disk commands such as read, write, and format.
RAID Level 0 stripes data across all disks without redundancy or parity. This Level maximizes data transfer rates and is good for handling large files. Spare drives are not useful on this Level. RAID Level 1 mirrors data across multiple disks. Data is duplicated on another set of drives.
