    Disk Redundancy

    for? RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) is a storage technology that combines multiple disk drive components into a logical unit. Data is distributed across the drives in one of several ways called "RAID levels"‚ depending on what level of redundancy and performance (via parallel communication) is required. Marketers representing industry RAID manufacturers later attempted to reinvent the term to describe a redundant array of independent disks as a means of dissociating a low-cost expectation

    independent disks. Below are some RAID configurations with a brief description.  RAID 0  Is the fastest of all the RAID levels‚ it uses a technique called data striping (see below) and requires at least two hard disks.  RAID 1  This level uses a pair of hard disks at a time to provide fault tolerance (there is no performance benefit) and requires at least 2 hard disks.  Using a technique called disk-mirroring (see below) the same data is written to both disks at a time‚ so if one hard disk crashes

    Chap3 Exercises 1. Why is RAID 1 not a substitute for a backup? 2. Why is RAID 0 not an option for data protection and high availability? RAID 0 is data striping. This means that data will appear to a user as one logical disk but all the data is distributed among two physical disks. If one disk fails operation cannot continue and data is lost because it is only stored in one place.  RAID 1 uses two disks that are mirrored copies of each other. If one disk fails‚ operation can continue

    Disk scheduling is one of the main responsibilities of Operating System. OS manages hard disk to provide best access time. All major Disk scheduling algorithms incorporate seek time as the only factor for disk scheduling. The second factor rotational delay is ignored by the existing algorithms. This research paper considers both factors‚ Seek Time and Rotational Delay to schedule the disk. Files are the most obvious objects in the operating systems manipulate. Everything is typically stored in files:

    Nicholas Young (14950761) Mr. Huynn NT1230 10 January 2013 Unit 2. Assignment 1. Disk Redundancy 1. Redundant Arrays of Inexpensive Disks (What is RAID?) 2. The basic idea of RAID was to combine multiple small‚ inexpensive disk drives into an array of disk drives which yields performance exceeding that of a Single Large Expensive Drive (What is RAID?). 3. a. RAID Level 0 is not redundant‚ hence does not truly fit the "RAID" acronym. In level 0‚ data is split across drives

    Blu-ray Disc Blu-ray Disc (BD) is an optical disc storage medium designed to supersede the DVD format. The plastic disc is 120 mm in diameter and 1.2 mm thick‚ the same size as DVDs and CDs. Blu-ray Discs contain 25 GB per layer‚ with dual layer discs (50 GB) being the norm for feature-length video discs. Triple layer discs (100 GB) and quadruple layers (128 GB) are available for BD-XL re-writer drives.[2] The major application of Blu-ray Discs is as a medium for video material such as feature
