See how RAID arrays can bring cloud computing home
|
|
|
| If you happen to be a bored commuter or a frequent flyer who’s tired of carrying kinds of external devices, here’s the good news. Thanks to cloud computing and cloud storage, things you wouldn`t have dared to imagine before become more manageable. Now you can use your laptop computer with Internet access to kill time watching a 1080p movie directly from your home computer, or upload your videos and photos immediately to your hard drive at home even when you are traveling abroad. By using your computer as the storage server, accessing tools and data anytime, anywhere has become like a piece of cake. |
| To make this home storage cloud work, you’ll need a RAID system. RAID, Redundant Array of Independent Disks, is a technology that provides increased storage reliability through redundancy, combining multiple low-cost, less-reliable disk drive components into a logical unit where all drives in the array are interdependent, just like having pipes pour water into a big bucket at the same time. |
| Then what kind of drives should be used? Hard drives can be extremely fragile, and things like excessive vibration or sudden jolts can cause mechanical parts inside a hard drive to fail, potentially resulting in massive data loss. In contrast to a regular hard disk drive, a SSD contains no spinning disks, spindles or any other fragile mechanical components. Therefore, there is nothing to break loose, get misaligned or become unreadable in case the drive is accidentally bumped or dropped. Your RAID arrays composed from SSDs will thus get the thorough protection, vast storage space and speed they deserve. |
