RAID 5 (Distributed Parity RAID) has Highest Read data transaction rate and Good aggregate transfer rate

JBOD is a virtual disk that combines all disk drives as one entire disk drive.

Provides RAID 0 (Stripping) to greatly increase the performance of data transfer by simultaneously reading data from multiple drives

Provides RAID 1 (Mirroring) to protect the data from the disk failure by writing identical data on 2 drives

RAID 0+1 (Mirrored-Stripping) combine both Striping and Mirroring technologies to provide both the performance enhancements that come from Striping and the data availability and integrity that comes from Mirroring

Completely with drivers for Windows 2000 ,XP and 2003 Server
