Abstract

There are many techniques to implement a RAID system in a server system. A RAID system is capable of data redundancy and backup. Therefore, it can prevent the loss of information. In this paper, the differences between hardware and software RAID, balancing performance and price of these two RAID systems are discussed. The effects of these two RAID systems to the performance of a server system are analyzed. This analysis helps system administrators understand what technique of RAID is most suitable to their requirements.
