RAID 5 & RAID 10 Tutorial & Explanation (NCIX Tech Tips #79)

[masterandy07]

Well, now i know I'm heading in the right direction.

Getting my QNAP TS 659 Pro II Diskless 6 Bay SATA 6Gb\s NAS and RAID 10 with it.

Buying 6X 3TB HDD NOT GREEN CHEAP CRAP HDD.

With Netgear GS716T 200, 16 Port Switch. :)

1 of each, My Repairing PC,Samsung TA950 Monitor/TV,Gaming PC,Router,Printer,for friend that comes over to copy massive files. Asus O!Player Gallery, Samsung 3D BD player, PS3 Xbox 360, Samsung 3D TV living room, sis room. 2 port for my NAS. And have 2 spares for future use. :)

[ApacheSenior]

I can't believe what I am seeing, is that Internet explorer on a computer Linus is using?!

[kingsideskill]

is linus doing now 2 channels

LinusTechTips and NCIXcom ???????

join if you dont know it !

[Cqub3]

@kingsideskill He's doing that EVER SINCE and he has more channels

[mrosebro]

quest - find raid array information on my knowledge level explained technically yet also in plain english so it's easy enough to understand.

status - completed

thank you linux, you have taught me so much yet again! ... stupid bills - keep me from buying toys and setting up ultimate systems... i now want to setup raid 10 for my file server and raid 0 with SSDs for my day to day pc... (if i lose everything on my day to day pc i really dont lose anything)

[TheIncludeX]

Well, Linus, I think I'm pretty much in love with you.

[MM360X]

@TheIncludeX Hey he's married............!!!

[freakyflow]

RAID KILLS BUGS DEAD !

[Dawgmeatt]

What type of Raid set up does Linus use with those like 8 or so SSD on his personal rig?

[ninjadude991]

wht would happen if i ran raid 10 with only two hard drives

[XT3RM1N8TA]

@ninjadude991 Don't think thats possible? wouldn't it just be raid 1?

[tabishfuhrer]

nice man !!!

[tfbekk]

How does fragmenting/defragmenting work on raid volumes/drives?

Must be really advanced :P

[mojkoification]

I just saied Sex but then I watched the video and it rocks..thanx

[mojkoification]

[Kole208]

i dont even understand this lol i have no clue what there talking about or what raid means lol and im building a gamming pc soon lol

[qfour20]

@Kole208 Raid is just either combining drives into one drive (raid 0) for much faster performance, or using one drive to back up the other drive simultaneously (raid 1), or doing both at the same time with 4 or more drives (raid 10)

[thepoliticalstartrek]

What about Raid 5+1. Did it die with SCSI interface. Raid 5+1 is a Raid 5 with a extra drive to parity.

[TheAustin3184]

I miss when Hd's were cheap a montha go.....

[omgodzilla10]

@TheAustin3184 Yeah really. The prices went up like a week before I ordered parts for my new computer, so I had to buy a 250gb because I couldn't afford a 1tb.

[Ri1seAgainst]

@omgodzilla10 1TB drives are still around 100$....

[omgodzilla10]

@Ri1seAgainst Where? On Newegg, they're around $150+. There's one for $113, but it's only 5400rpm and 3gb/s.

[kickit246]

@omgodzilla10 I purchased a 1TB WD Caviar Blue HDD for $78 on Amazon.ca back in December. Insane deal at the time. :)

When HDD's get down to a normal price (if they aren't already), then I'll start playing around with RAID for funzies :).

[epicfail022]

[ThePaalch]

does RAID 5 work with win 7 home premium?

[skaterguy1423]

@ThePaalch no fucken shit everything works on windows....

[bathewater]

Is there anything you can't inform me about Linus? The man's a wizard

[rodrigox600]

@theniggyboy no if u do that then it will only be Raid 1 or 0 u need at least 4 drives for raid 10

[polacyjest]

Dude.....What?

[TheNiggiboy]

can i use two 1TB hard drives and one 2TB for raid 10?

[tehenthusiast]

WTF why do you like penis!

[pistolpete2nd]

How is Raid1 more failsafe than Raid 6 for 4 drives? Raid 6 allows that any 2 drives can go down. When you have Raid1 it is unrecoverable when the 2 drives with the same data crash.

[carbonguy9]

@pistolpete2nd I think the way he said it just came out weird. He meant having a RAID 6 with 4 drives doesn't make much sense. 4tb for 2tb, you might as well use a RAID 1 with 2 2TB drives. RAID 6 is more fail-safe but with 4 drive array you'd be paying way too much for it (4 drives + a RAID card). Once you start expanding out to more than 4 drives you start making up the cost of the redundancy (5 x 1TB drives = 3TB)

[Dawzy12]

I think for me RAID 1 would be the best. I feel if you want RAID you want it for the redundancy not the speed. I feel RAID 1 leaves the read/write speeds upto your drives instead of the array of data storage. Anything higher would be used for data centres and businesses and such where redudancy is the key point

[ZacDaMan72]

Caviar Green or Caviar Black?

[2393034]

I Found these raids are useless.....,for most i will use is raid 0~

[airsoftrulzpaintball]

4=2

Thank you linus...

[UlyssesKrunk]

@airsoftrulzpaintball FUCK THE (math) POLICE!!!!

[Destroysall]

LINUS, DO A VID ON HOW TO MAKE A HOME SERVER!!!!!!!!!!

[TBKclanHD]

@NCIXcom

Quick question, say you have RAID 10 with 4 drives. With you theoretically get 2x the speed, or 4x the speed? I'm guessing 2x?

[mangoleeallan]

"Don't forget to Subscrib"

[herrjonna2007]

why should you'r HDD break down anyways? :P I had a gaming computer for about 6 years now, same hardware, same HDD. Nothing had ever broke down, except one RAM chip that burned down under a LAN-party.... but that doesn't count ^^

[snoopwoggywogg]

@herrjonna2007 I can say the same about RAM, I've never had RAM go faulty on me... the fact is, HDD's are moving parts and if you've ever pulled one apart, they are very fragile, bump one while its reading something and the drive goes faulty... not just that but HDD's also store your important data on it! Besides, RAID setups are usually for business computers and servers, they can't afford to lose data from a faulty HDD, the only common RAID setups for home are RAID 0 for gaming

[herrjonna2007]

@snoopwoggywogg I know ^^ I have pulled one apart, made it a lantern xD anyways :D I know it's moving parts and I use the RAID 0 config. for my setup ;-) I was just sayin' My HDD have never broke down ^^

Thx for you'r reply :D

[TheArnzi]

ima buy that raid controller just cuz it had that cool red light that makes my computer super important looking nd stuff...

[jonamvv]

Thanks Linus for your videos............



[QuadroNVS]

thanks alot ...i didn't fully understand raid untill i watched this video

[the4armedmonk]

no more slots on my motherboard to get a raid card for raid 5.

4 5850s, otherwise id get a raid card and be able to use my dedicated network card

[TheLatinHacker]

Thanks for this video keep the good work!

[tlxxxsracer]

Do you need a RAID card to do raid 10? Or do you just have to make sure you have enough sata ports on your mobo?

[lonesoldier33]

5:28 WHY?!?

[TheNiggiboy]

thanks for the instructions!

[HelmetVanga]

I heard somewhere there is not such thing as RAID 10

[endlrls]

Thanks for the Up.

[ncbenr]

A technical correction: RAID 0 does not stripe on a bit by bit level. It does it on a block by block level. Block size is often 16k bytes or higher. Bit level striping is RAID 2, which is almost never used.

[jh3496]

Raid 5 write vs single hdd?

[silver2screen]

This guy is a boss!

[AhmedFromKSA]

just wondering if you had 2 raid cards can you raid the drives form the first one with the other

[XriverdogX]

I have a 500GB. Just got 4 more. Could I create a quad stripe and get a program to transfer the data from my HDD to the quad stripe, and keep the original as a backup?

In addition I could periodically backup the info off the quad stripe onto the backup HDD to keep it up to date.

Or would it be better to just start from scratch and use all 5 drives in a RAID 5? If I did this I would have to get a RAID card, which I have no room for. Would also lose data.

The only other option would be RAID 10

[ComissarGramsci]

"DONT FORGET TO SUBSCRIB"

You spelled subscribe wrong.

[ComissarGramsci]

By "Throw in a new drive" he means spend $100 on a new 1tb drive and then wait for it to be delivered or go pick it up from a store and then open up your computer and screw in the new devices and plug the cables in.

[DSERUR24]

is thare a cheper raid 5 controler than this $550 card , is ther one thats good but is more like 100 bucks ?

[dbiswas123]

Excellent presentation , with a sense of passion. Thank you so much !! 

[jordy1601]

@silentskone What's the difference? :O

[jaiden270274]

@deepakjindal070 agreed

[AlwaysLearningTech]

Can you use SSD for RAID?

[ZeroHeroVids]

@AlwaysLearningTech Yes

[wesleycroucher]

Can I set up two RAID Arrays. I have a bootable 240GB Revo x2 which is already set in RAID 0 which i use for my O.S.. I would also like to add four 3TB hard drives in RAID 10 for additonal storage. Does anybody know if thispossible?

[ShadowwwLFS]

Also, for RAID-5, software RAID is waaay better than chipset RAID, and is comparable to hardware RAID. No idea about Windows, but on Linux best option would be mdadm.

[ShadowwwLFS]

Um, about 4 drive RAID 6 - RAID 1 of pairs of drives would NOT be safer, because, if two drives from same RAID 1 part fail - the whole array fails!

[POPCORN454545]

Linus would you recommend raid 5 for a gaming desktop machine? Or like you said just a file server or whatever, cause im gonna get a 4th HDD in a little bit, and i'm wondering if i can use raid 5 instead of raid 10, cause i get more space that way. I don't loose 2tb's i only loose 1tb....pls respond :D.

[RagingBubuli]

Hey is there such thing as RAID 11? Like you RAID 1 your RAID 1 Drives?

[darbytes]

@RagingBubuli - doesn't that seriously defeat the purpose save for in the event of like tons of drives failing at once.

[darbytes]

@RagingBubuli - two more points: it would cost some assload of money & not only would multiple drives have to fail but they'd have to be two in a pair.

[MadNoys1]

I received a vibe that you didn't fully understand what you were explaining BUT you gave a pretty good explanation PLUS you provided a nice stepping stone in my comprehension process. Thanks for the video!

[babyfaceassassin21]

i never had raid before but i want to have my pc configure it that way. i just want to ask how will you going to know which hard drive is failing (in case its going to fail) in a raid setup???

[redviper2GAMER]

Raid 0 is still been the best for me. I have never liked JBOD or raid 10. Good info for reference but Raid 0 should be good enought provided you use a formated back up drive.

[strangerlover11]

how to use raid 0 for two hard driver for windows 7 and how to get the utality which

essential to use in this process...........thanks......­.....

[mo7senses]

Hi,

can you advise me on this please that how to Increasing the size of a RAID 5 array?

I have 146GB of 4 disks based on RAID 5 and need to upgrade with 300GB SAS disks and i want 146GB data in new disks as well.

Would appreciate if you could take out sometime and help me out.

TIA

[modo203]

Dude you're great! :)

so cool for a geek!

keep up!

[roflcopter105]

what happened to raid 2,3,4,7,8 and 9?

[Poshua92]

@roflcopter105

RAID 5 replaced Raid 3 & 4. :).

[ShadowStrikerNlNJA]

@roflcopter105 They went full retarded

[awesomereece123]

@roflcopter105 People stopped using them because they ran off of niggawatts.

[ksidornseif]

Just a questione everybody- If I am transferring files to/between two PC's on my network through my router, is the speed limited to my shitty 1.5MBps Down/.6MBps up? or will it transfer at the full speed of my CAT5e cables?

[Pringles6990]

@ksidornseif It will transfer at the speed of your Ethernet slot, so that's probably 100MBps :)

[SprinterVinny]

Nice video. In terms of physical implementation, I have no doubts. I want to know from you if I can setup a RAID 10 in a Windows 2008 Server with the required 4 Hard Disks only using Disk Management. I know we can setup RAID 0, 1 and 5 only on Disk Management, but did not see anything related to RAID 10. Can u pls tell me?

[CaptainZenrog]

I don't think RAID is really all that useful for those who don't have too much money to spend.

[POPCORN454545]

can raid 10 work with 3 hdds? or does it need to be 4+?

[IIGrayfoxII]

@POPCORN454545

he used 3 HDDs with raid 5

and he show the performance between onboard RAID and deadicated RAID controller

[POPCORN454545]

@IIGrayfoxII im talking about raid 10...

[Ceadderman]

Hmmm, missed this RAID coverage. Wish I'dve seen it before building my RAID0 drive.

If you want to be safe though I would just get a +3rd drive(depending on your RAID config) and use it for back up duty as long as it's the same size as your RAID config. Problem solved. You have a faster setup than a single drive and you have the safety of running in RAID1 w/o the loss in performance. BOOYAH!

i've already subscribed, but where's the subscrib button???

[hapooking]

chuk noris has raid 11

[2DeCipher]

RAID 10 is like Raid 1+0, but it can also be like 0+1. Depending on your needs, you can mirror then stripe (1+0) or you can stripe then mirror (0+1). Great intro to the topic though.

[sciman001]

FAK!!!!!!!! TOOTH ACHE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[infamousmp1]

Man this guy is awesome. Really well spoken.

[DiDolRuChagi]

Transcribe the audio at 1:40.....and you will LOL!

"In grades six you this to drive with the storage capacity so you can see here with a four hundred sixty on the anti terror but its that doesnt even make any sense."

[SilentSkone]

Linus you're all wrong about RAID 10! Two RAID 0 arrays in RAID 1 = RAID 01!!!

Two RAID 1 arrays in RAID 0= RAID 10

Even Wikipedia knows that :P

(thumbs up so ppl'll see)

[snati4]

@SilentSkone that is if you're thinking in BINARY, lol...

[HostileDonut]

@SilentSkone Is there even a difference?

[SilentSkone]

@HostileDonut RAID 0+1 requires minimum 3 disks, RAID 10 requires 4. Other than that RAID 10 has better data protection, especially when you're running more then 4 drives.

[HostileDonut]

@SilentSkone Okay, thanks. =D

[DXZGXZ]

@SilentSkone This lol.. I was like what is he talking about

[SuperMuddiger]

@SilentSkone wiki is not a reliable source

[TheAks30]

RAID 10 YAY =D

[MrAleckazee]

In RAID, can a HDD only fail hardware wise or can it also fail by not writing data correctly?

[tbaldwin102]

So can I set up three 300gb HDs in raid 0 and have a 1tb HD set up as the raid 1 for all disks??

[lilpeboe2521]

THNX

[TestimentBlue]

he farts at 5:32

[peteql]

@TestimentBlue no

[takealready]

thank you for educating me. I like radi 10 now. It seems like the best of both worlds.

[DKboy001]

@NCIXcom If I wanted to run 4 500gb drives in RAID 0, can I run a 2tb drive in RAID 1 with the other 4? I assume no, but I want to make sure.

[DaBossk]

what does he mean by losing a drive? like a harddrive going dead? i wasnt aware they die that easy.... LOL? i dont understand raid

[Remi1115]

If you make a RAID 10 out of SSD's will you then have 2 times the speed of a normal SSD?

[HOBO129]

omg the transcribe audio is so damn funny they talk about drugs and stuff in the first part :D

[altoidfart]

@acidburner4 That makes no sense.

[LordJahr]

i did not understand anything:P

[tot22]

Subscrib?

[Randomshit1353]

i wish there was raid 10.6 which is like 10 and 6 together

[draconas109]

there is no RAID 10, its 1+0 or 0+1, THERE IS NO 10

[littlescrounger]

biulding first pc puting windows 7 64 bit on 64gb ssd and 500gb for storage what raid do i need to put it in to

[camdened123456]

@TheLoon508 you don't i dont THINK you can put a HHD and an SSD, if you can it' useless because you'd end up with 128GB of space as it uses the SMALLEST drive as the.....max amount.... if you will

[TalesOfWar]

@TheLoon508 None. But I'd get a 500GB external drive (at least, though drives are cheap as chips these days so get it as big as you can afford) as backup.

Does anyone know where to find a good setup tutorial on RAID 10?

[sharpersoftware]

i built an enterprise network with x5 servers with 6 drives each on RAID 5, after waiting all night to format the raids they all crashed..... after 2 weeks of this i discovered the intel raid cards firmware had a known issue with raid 5 and needed an update to support raid 5... i hate raid 5 now regardless.... i <3 my SAN array :D

[UTubeLightBulb]

Your like the Glenn Beck of the computer world . . . . that's a complement btw ;)

[Downhillsuicide95]

very informative

[mikeymike11206]

excellent info... one question, do you still need to use identical drives when building RAID's?

[VooDooAssassin2]

wow Google likes sex 0:02 0:14 using the Google audio translate

[Aristowi]

One question, or maybe I just need some advice. I have a 1TB HDD and I wanted to buy another one (might be already full of porn :P) and perhaps make a RAID 0 array, but now I see that it might be a good idea to buy two 500GB HDDs, put them in RAID 0 for 1TB (and store the OS and installations there) and have my 1TB HDD for additional storage and keep it safer (I dont want lo lose all my dear porn :P). I would apreciate sharing your opinions about this. Thanks.

If you lose your raid controller you lose all your data : )~

[hexstaticleon]

what are the differences (PROS+CONS) between RAID 10, and RAID 01 ????

[Andey17]

transcribe audio is fucking hilarious:))))

[GubKnocker]

@Andey17 Wow. It is way off haha, and Linus speaks very clear. I am partially deaf and I hear every word he says, thats why his reviews are awesome!

[Paint00076]

I saw a video where a group had 24 SSD's all combigned together. Wht raid would they have used? Would the raid card have 24 sockets?

[victorprudeaux500]

ITS NOT RAID 10 IT'S RAID 1+0!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[asdquet]

@victorprudeaux500 Everyone in the computer industry calls it RAID 10, including the hardware manufacturers.

we run raid5 in a dedicated external box with 8 drives and never had a problem with two drives failing near each other. the link to the machine is a pci-e SAS card and seems to benchmark about 240MB/s on reads, using LSI 3801e.

[r4wan]

I will definitely "subscrib" to this. Bahaha

[2007jhi]

if u have 4 hdd can u hook 2 up in raid 0 for os and the other 2 in raid 1 for storage?
