RAID 0/1/5 in question. I am trying to determine whether or not it is possible to continue reading or writing if ONE hard drive in the array fails.
- For RAID 0 I assumed the entire array fails if one goes down (but is it still possible to read from the existing?
- For RAID 1 I assumed reading and writing continues as normal since there is a mirror copy.
- For Raid 5 I assumed that reading would continue as normal (just the information would have to potentially be reconstructed) and write should cease until a new drive is inserted
I am pretty sure that my assumptions for RAID 1 are correct, but I am uncertain on the behavior of RAID 0 and 5. Ideally you wouldn't touch RAID 5 until you could rebuild the new drive, but is it possible? Any resources on the subject would be awesome.
