RAID10工作原理图解及特点分析

10: Very High Reliability combined with High Performance

Characteristics/Advantages

1. 10 is implemented as a striped array whose segments are 1 arrays

2. 10 has the same fault tolerance as level 1

3. 10 has the same overhead for fault-tolerance as mirroring alone

4. High I/O rates are achieved by striping 1 segments

5. Under certain circumstances, 10 array can sustain multiple simultaneous drive failures

6. Excellent solution for sites that would have otherwise gone with 1 but need some additional performance boost

Disadvantages

7. Very expensive / High overhead

8. All drives must move in parallel to proper track lowering sustained performance

9. Very limited scalability at a very high inherent cost

Recommended Applications

Database server requiring high performance and fault tolerance

Level 10 requires a minimum of 4 drives to implement
