(RAID 5)

http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wo/0.RSLID?mco=15559A3&nclm=XserveRAID

RAID 0: Striping.
Lays down data in stripes across an array of drives for exceptional I/O performance, but with no data protection.

RAID 1: Mirroring.
Writes identical copies of data on a pair of disks for total redundancy, but with limited performance and inefficient use of drives.

RAID 3: Striping with parity.
Stripes data across two or more drives and stores parity data on a dedicated drive, providing data redundancy and performance that’s faster than that of a single drive.

RAID 5: Striping with distributed parity.
Distributes data and parity information across an array for high throughput, good redundancy, and efficient use of drives.

RAID 0+1: Striping over mirroring.
Stripes data across pairs of mirrored drives for a mix of performance and redundancy.

RAID 10, 30, and 50: Striping over RAID 1, 3, and 5.
Uses hardware RAID to create two or more sets in RAID level 1, 3, or 5, and software RAID to stripe across the sets. This creates a single data volume with the best balance of performance and data protection.

And have patience with what they say, and leave them with noble (dignity).
Surah (Chapter) 73: The Wrapped Up; Ayat (Verse) 10

Each struggle makes me realize my being and what my purpose is in this life. One without a purpose cannot comprehend any struggle. Without guidance, what is known to be a struggle is not recognized and therefore there is no meaning. The concept of struggle has become decieved to believe that the struggle doesnt meet one’s self interest, when in fact the struggle itself is an opportunity (and should be percieved as an opportunity) to realize one’s nature and accept that the struggle (an act of humbleness) itself has met one’s self interest already. When continually being faced with what is known to be a test, it is ample evidence that one has the ability to face the challenge. There is not one test that is given to any being that cannot be overcome. One has to believe that there is a choice to overcome the situation and by making the choice to sacrifice one’s pride to reach the act of humbleness, the test has been passed.

By continually trying to meet one’s own self interest during a struggle, the test will continue soon to be believed not to be a test anymore but a burden and in that regard one will continually not have patience nor gain anything beneficial from the situation. Slowly, each test would not be percieved as a test anymore but just an event in one’s part life. This causes more discouragement and the lack to understand the ability to overcome decision-making situations.

Passing a test must be accomplished by sacrificing one’s own self interest and this increases patience as well as wisdom. There is a feeling of fulfillment, an increase in learning experience and the stronger will to defeat more tests in the future. Through nobility, the struggle benefits in one’s long-term endeavors.

The lesson is in the struggle. Without a struggle there is not a lesson and without a lesson there is no guidance. Without guidance there is not a purpose and without a purpose there is no destination.
