RAID is a technique for making live backups of physical hard drives, although it degrades the hard drive's useful capacity. Would you rather have backup at the expense of around half your disk space? Which kind of RAID is best for a home computer system that has regular power outages that may result in hard disk failures?
Disk Parameters: Transfer size is 8K bytes, Advertised average seek is 6 ms, Disk spins at 3600 RPM, Transfer rate is 2 MB/sec and Controller overhead is 2 ms. What is the average disk access time for a sector?
However, RAID reduces the useable capacity of the hard drive by generating live backups of physical hard drives. To save half your disk space, would you rather have backups? In a home-based computer system with regular power outages that may lead to hard disk failures, what kind of RAID would be best?
Live backups of physical hard drives can be produced by setting up a RAID array, although doing so will reduce the original hard drive's capacity. Would you rather have backup at the expense of using up half your disc space instead? The frequency of power outages affects the best RAID configuration for a home computer system that is susceptible to hard disk failures due to frequent power outages.
For support and executing commands, disk controllers requires
The amount of usable storage space on a hard disk may be affected, however, if RAID is utilized to provide live backups of the underlying physical drives. The question is whether or not it's worth it to lose half of your disk space on purpose to retain a backup. What RAID configuration should a home computer use to safeguard its hard disks against failure caused by frequent power outages?
