RAID 4 and RAID 5 use roughly the same mechanism to calculate and store parity for data

Question:

RAID 4 and RAID 5 use roughly the same mechanism to calculate and store parity for data blocks. How does RAID 5 differ from RAID 4 and for what applications would RAID 5 be more efficient?


RAID 3, RAID 4, and RAID 5 all use parity system to protect blocks of data. Specifically, a parity block is associated with a collection of data blocks. Each row in the following table shows the values of the data and parity blocks, as described in Figure 6.13.New Data DO' 8 DO 1. Read 2. Read 3. Read D1 D2 D3 DO' 4. Write D1 +) XOR D2 D3 P P' 5. Write New Data 1.

a. b. New DO 7453 F245 DO AB9C 7453 D1 AABB DD25 D2 0098 AABB D3 549C FEFE P 2FFF FEFF
