Then we have the best solution for you which is RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) The main purpose of RAID is data storage performance, reliability, and secure the data in the event of a drive failure.
Let’s learn about three types of RAID storage techniques—striping, mirroring, and parity.
| Technique | Description | Benefits | Drawbacks |
| Striping (RAID 0) | Spreads data across disks for speed | Fastest RAID, increased capacity | No redundancy, single drive failure = data loss |
| Mirroring (RAID 1) | Creates identical copies on multiple disks | Excellent fault tolerance, fast reads | Reduced usable capacity, expensive |
| Parity (RAID 5) | Uses parity data for reconstruction of failure | Balance of performance & redundancy, increased capacity | Slower write, requires 3+ disks |
