RAID0 - Striped volumes do not provide fault tolerance, but offer the fastest performancecedjunior said:Nevermind, you deleted the post I originally replied to.
Anyway, RAID5 is not a combination of both RAID 0 and RAID 1, like I said, and you said, its a totally different concept, not subject to confusion. I wouldn't even be refuring to RAID 5 because most mainstream home user motherboards dont support it.
RAID1 - Mirrored volumes are the most basic type of fault tolerant RAID, but they suffer from relatively low efficiency. Fully 50 percent of the disk space devoted to the array is used to store redundant data
RAID5 - Striped volumes with parity provide fault tolerance (RAID1) with enhanced performance (RAID0) and a better level of efficiency than RAID1
RAID5 is generally used in servers
