The realm of web hosting services and data management are intertwined. Redundant Array of Independent Disks, i.e., RAID, is a powerful technology that connects both these landscapes. This method combines multiple disk drives into one unit to store data.

RAID setups are usually associated with physical servers. However, implementing RAID on virtual private servers can significantly improve data security availability, processing speed and fault tolerance.

In this blog, we discuss how the RAID technology works and how it benefits VPS performance.

Implement RAID on Your VPS Hosting: Improve Data Redundancy and Performance

Multiple RAID levels are available in the market. You make your choice based on your requirements:

RAID 0: Good performance

RAID 1: Enhanced data protection

RAID 5: Withstands failures with one disk

RAID 6: Withstands failures with two disks

Below are the three primary functions when implementing RAID levels. Let us understand these functions.
