Spare Drive
A spare is a disk drive that has been designated to replace a failed disk drive in a
RAID Volume. In the event of the failure of a disk drive within a RAID 1 or three-
drive RAID 5 Volume, the spare drive is activated as a member of the RAID
Volume to replace a disk drive that has failed.
A spare drive cannot replace the failed drive in a RAID 0 Volume because of the
way in which data is written to the disk drives under RAID 0.
A spare drive is not available for a RAID 10 Volume because RAID 10 requires all
four disk drives in the SmartStor enclosure. However, when you replace the failed
disk drive, the SmartStor will automatically rebuild the RAID Volume using the
new disk drive.
Advantages Disadvantages
High Read data transaction rate
Medium Write data transaction rate
Good aggregate transfer rate
Most versatile RAID level
Disk failure has a medium impact on
throughput
Advantages Disadvantages
Implemented as a mirrored RAID
Volume whose segments are RAID 0
RAID Volumes
High I/O rates are achieved thanks to
multiple stripe segments
Very high disk overhead – uses only
50% of total capacity
