What is RAID on dedicated servers? This is a technology for combining multiple hard drives into a single logical array. It is designed to increase the reliability of data storage and/or increase the speed of reading/writing data. The most commonly used **RAID** types on our servers: * **RAID 0**: Increases read/write speed by splitting data into parts and distributing them evenly across all disks. However, this does not provide redundancy, so if one of the disks fails, all data is lost. * **RAID 1**: Offers data mirroring, which means that all data is duplicated on two or more disks. This increases reliability, but costs twice as much in terms of storage, since the total amount of free space is reduced by half of the original. Example: if you use two 2TB disks and combine them into a common **RAID 1** array, you will get 2TB of free space. In simple terms, **RAID 0** should be used to get the full amount of disk memory and combine them into a common array, **RAID 1** — to increase data security.
