Reliability Model of RAID-60 Disk Arrays
Abstract
Reliability Model of RAID-60 Disk Arrays
Incoming article date: 29.11.2023The general characteristics of the innovative RAID-60 data storage system, which combines the best aspects of RAID-6 and RAID-0E technologies, as well as the reliability model of this data storage sys-tem, are presented. The main purpose of this connection is to provide outstanding performance with maximum data redundancy. The arti-cle discusses in detail the structural analysis, advantages and various scenarios for the use of the specified RAID-60 data storage system and the proposed model of its reliability. An important aspect is also the comparison of the RAID-60 system with other widespread vari-ants of data storage systems, such as RAID-0, RAID-1 and RAID-5, as well as with the reliability models of these systems. Particular at-tention is paid to the formula that allows you to calculate the average operating time to failure of a disk array. Also, for completeness of the analysis, attention is paid to plotting the probability of a RAID-60 failure (P(t)) over time (t). This graph is an important tool for visu-alizing the dynamics of reliability of data storage systems.
