What’s a Dynamic Disk?

[@manny7886]

I used to test RAID controllers in the 90s. Tested RAID 0 (stripe with no redundancy, RAID 1 (mirroring), RAID 5 (stripe with redundancy), and RAID 6.

I'm retired now, but. At the last Radio Station where I worked we had a striped system. It is major market so the extra expense and trouble was well worth it. Many times we were starting two recorded copies of the same program to ensure there would be no dead air. I was responsible for all technical matters but we had on staff an IT person assigned to my department to keep us ideal with all the data we were using on air and off.

If you think spanned volumes don't puts your data enough at risk in case of a drive failure, you definitely want striped volumes.

Hi! Can I correct a little bit? In fact, the three disk configuration in your presentation represents a RAID-4 configuration. In RAID-5, the data correction information is distributed evenly on each disk.
Thanks for your great videos. Even I am a Linux user, i watch them with great interest.

I'd love to see how raids are set up, when you have time. Cheers for the video.

RAID1 can also improve READ performance by reading different parts from each drive

[@nealbscott]

No mention of 'storage spaces'?

[@MegaGeorge1948]

Can you use SSDs in a RAID?

[@andygardiner6526]

yes, with the same benefits/issues as normal hard disks.

[@roncaruso931]

You should have mentioned that striping (RAID 0) and mirroring (RAID 1) are also forms of RAID.

That now explains what's really happening with my NAS drive.

I never quite understood all the "Raids." Thanks!!

[@chrissimpson1183]

I can never keep the RAIDS strait...

[@DarrenPilot]

When using a raid controller - what kind of disk does windows see at the end? Basic or Dynamic?

[@askleonotenboom]

I suspect it's not tied to the raid controller. Could be either.

Thank you so muck for giving me knowledge.
