Architect's Technical Analysis
Archive Profile: RAID 6 is the enterprise standard for backup targets, object storage, and secondary archives. The double-parity calculation incurs a high write penalty (6x), making it suboptimal for heavy random-write workloads.
Reliability: It provides excellent protection against dual-drive failures, which is critical when using large capacity drives where rebuild times are long.
| RAID Level | Usable Space | Redundancy | Read Perf | Write Perf |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RAID 0 | 30.72 TB | None | High | Very High |
| RAID 1 | 15.36 TB | 1 Drive | High | Medium |
| RAID 5 | 26.88 TB | 1 Drive | High | Low |
| RAID 6 | 23.04 TB | 2 Drives | High | Very Low |
| RAID 10 | 15.36 TB | 1/Span | Very High | High |
| RAID 60 | 15.36 TB | 2/Span | High | Low |
