I've always thought the following to be a general rule of thumb for RAID:

  • RAID 0: Best performance for READ and WRITE from stripping, greatest risk
  • RAID 1: Redundant, decent for READ (I believe it can read from different parts of a file from different hard drives), not the best for WRITE
  • RAID 0+1 (01): combines redundancy of RAID 1 with performance of RAID 0
  • RAID 1+0 (10): slightly better version of RAID 0+1
  • RAID 5: good READ performance, bad WRITE performance, redundant

IS THIS ASSUMPTION CORRECT? (and how do they compare to a JBOD setup for R/W IO performance)

Are certain practical RAID setups better for different applications: gaming, video editing, database (Acccess or SQL)?

I was thinking about hard disk drives but does this apply to solid state drives as well?
