There are various methods used to improve the performance and capability
of the disk. The methods are usually used to improve performance, it
will involved many disks as one storage unit. Each block of data is
separate into some sub block, and is divided into disks (striping). When
there are data transfers, the disks will work in parallel, and increase
the transfer speed in reading or writing data. Combined with the
rotation synchronization on each disc, then the performance of the disk
can be increased. This method is known as RAID - Redundant Array of
Independent Disks. Beside that RAID performance problems may also
increase the reliability of the disk by using additional disks to store
the parity block or as a mirror of the data on the disk.
Usually some computer motherboards already support with raid10. Raid10
using a set of disks with striping at the block level without
redundancy. So just do the striping blocks of data into multiple disks.
Excess of this level has already include access to several blocks and
can be done in parallel so it can be faster while sending data. However
lack of access per block, just like there is no improvement, less
reliability in the absence of data backups with redundancy.
