Question |
| Can a RAID
storage system continue to operate, storing &
retrieving data, if one of its drives fails? |
Answer |
| Yes,
as long as the RAID system is configured for RAID 1,
5, 6, or 10 operation. In fact, if RAID 6 is
employed, the storage system will continue to
operate (without data loss) even if two of its
drives fail. Note that it is important to replace
failed drives as soon as possible in order to
restore data protection. Note that if more than one
drive fails in a RAID 5 system, all of the data on
it will be lost. If more than two drives fail in a
RAID 6 system, all of the data will be lost.
Therefore, it is vital that failed drives be
replaced right away. In most cases, whether you
select a RAID 1, 5, 6, or 10 configuration, the
storage system and its data can still be accessed
– even while replacing failed drives. |
