There\u2019s no getting around that fact. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All RAID levels &#8211; except for RAID 0 &#8211; mitigate the risk of downtime and data loss from a failed hard drive on a dedicated server. And, a RAID solution can improve your I\/O performance with significant improvements to read and write speeds. RAID Level 0 is only used for the sake of I\/O performance and does not help with redundancy the same way other RAID levels do.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RAID 5 is a solution designed as more of a storage server. The configuration maximizes space by using parity calculation to achieve striping of the data. This means that if one of your hard drives goes down, your system won\u2019t miss a beat.&nbsp;However, if two drives go down, your data is lost.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s how. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.maple-hosting.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/675px-RAID_5.svg_.png?w=675&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"RAID 5\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are at least three disks in a RAID 5 configuration. Imagine one of your hard drives just went down. Bam! RAID 5 technology springs into action like a self-healer. Reconstruction of the data immediately begins because of parity with the spare disks that are available. However, as mentioned above, if two hard disks fail simultaneously, then all data is unfortunately lost.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thanks to the striping, RAID 5 also provides up to two times performance improvement for read operations. However, there are a few issues to be aware of when considering RAID 5:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rebuild Times. RAID 5 rebuilds can take days for large disks of 2TB+. This rebuild time leaves your data at risk because your server is hard at work calculating missing data. Because your server is working hard, it&#8217;s also very slow &#8211; sometimes not even usable during this rebuild time. Definitely something to factor in.<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Uncorrectable read error (URE). All your data is lost if a URE occurs during the rebuild. You can&#8217;t recover the data. It&#8217;s gone. Poof. Just because the RAID array is corrupt from the URE.<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With those risks in mind, RAID 5 is reserved for those who have smaller drives with low URE. So now that we have a comfort level with RAID 5, what&#8217;s the deal RAID 10?<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.maple-hosting.com\/netherlands-dedicated-servers?config=raid5\">&gt; Compare Award-Winning Dedicated Servers with RAID 5 &lt;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_RAID_10\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is RAID 10? <\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RAID 10 is more for production and hosting servers, as it maximizes performance over space. Commercial operations typically favor RAID 10 solutions because there\u2019s a strong balance of performance and data security. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s why RAID 10 is the reliable favorite for our clients running dedicated server systems. If your website relies heavily on a database, then RAID 10 is always going to be better than RAID 5. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.maple-hosting.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/RAID_10.png?w=440&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"RAID 10\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As you can see in the illustration above, RAID 10 combines the features of RAID 1 and RAID 0 with mirroring and striping. Mirroring ensures data security. Striping improves the I\/O performance by spreading data across several disks and drives. &nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s worth mentioning that RAID 10 with 4 drives can have 2 drives die without data loss, as long as the drives weren&#8217;t in the same mirrored (RAID1) array. If you have 8 drives in RAID 10, theoretically, 4 drives could die without data loss, as long as it&#8217;s the right drives that die. That&#8217;s a big difference between RAID 5 vs RAID 10 because with RAID 5, if any two drives die, regardless of how many drives you have &#8211; it&#8217;s game over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may be able to visualize how any website with a lot of database queries and usage will be better off on RAID 10. With 4 drives alone, RAID 10 would give 4x read speed and 2x write speed gain, versus RAID 5 which (with 3 disks) would only get a 2x read speed gain and no write speed gain.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.maple-hosting.com\/netherlands-dedicated-servers?config=raid10\">&gt; Compare Award-Winning Dedicated Servers with RAID 10 &lt;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"RAID_5_vs_RAID_10_Key_Differences\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RAID 5 vs RAID 10: Key Differences<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that we&#8217;ve established what RAID 5 and RAID 10 mean, let&#8217;s compare RAID 5 vs RAID 10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main difference between RAID 5 and RAID 10 is in the way they rebuild their drives in case one dies. RAID 10 reads the surviving disk and copies its content to the new drive you add to the array when replacing the damaged drive. Simple enough, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>RAID 5, however, will need to go over each and every disk in order to calculate the missing data and recover it. This translates to massive I\/O load which in turn increases chances of a second disk failure, and that&#8217;s catastrophic. Furthermore, this huge disk load can cause downtime simply because the drives are reading and writing so much data that other applications are unable to read or write data for their functionality. Even if the load isn&#8217;t too overwhelming for your applications, the rebuilding with RAID 5 will take much longer than it would on a RAID 10 array.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, RAID 10 stripes your data on two different groups of drives and mirrors your data on the array (1 copy on each drive) while RAID 5 stores your data across 3 drives (minimum) in the array equally, which can help with increasing read performance, in theory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large text-center\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.maple-hosting.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/infographic-raid1-vs-raid10-vs-raid0-vs-raid-5-comparison.png\" data-lightbox=\"image\" title=\"Infographic - RAID 10 vs RAID 5\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.maple-hosting.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/infographic-raid1-vs-raid10-vs-raid0-vs-raid-5-comparison.png\" alt=\"Infographic - RAID 5 vs RAID 10\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/1381;margin: 10px auto;\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\">\n<\/a>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_many_hard_drives_do_you_need_for_Raid_5_vs_Raid_10\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How many hard drives do you need for Raid 5 vs Raid 10?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The minimum for RAID 5 is 3 drives and for RAID 10 is 4 drives.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_other_questions_should_I_be_asking_myself_when_selecting_the_right_RAID_solution\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What other questions should I be asking myself when selecting the right RAID solution? <\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The main question to ask yourself is, how important are full redundancy and optimal performance.

RAID of any kind is NEVER a proper substition to regular backups. Although some RAID levels can help avoid data loss in case of a corrupted drive, there are many scenarios in which corrupted data can pass through the RAID and get written into all drives containing the same data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A proper backup is a copy of your data which is stored in a different location than your drives. The data in your backups will not be corrupted as long as you&#8217;ve taken the backup before the data corruption happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"If_RAID_10_is_good_for_storage_reliability_then_when_does_RAID_5_make_sense_for_my_business\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If RAID 10 is good for storage reliability, then when does RAID 5 make sense for my business?&nbsp;<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RAID 5 is&nbsp;an ideal selection for file and application servers with a small number of data drives. Efficient storage, great security, good performance &#8211; RAID 5 is a solid system that<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;maximizes space on a servers RAID array.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While RAID 10 or RAID 5 may seem like the only options to maximize space, we would also recommend RAID 0 if you&#8217;re looking to store non-critical data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"So_which_is_better_RAID_5_or_RAID_10\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So which is better?
