Question: RAID was first proposed by David A . Patterson et al . [ 1 ] They discussed MTTF ( mean time to failure ) *

RAID was first proposed by David A. Patterson et al.[1] They discussed MTTF (mean time to failure)* when comparing RAID variations. Please calculate the MTTF of RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 1+0, RAID 5 and RAID 6 on the following assumption.
- MTTF of one disk is 1,500,000 hours (hrs)(It is a typical MTTF of hard disks)
- MTTR (mean time to repair) for any RAID is 1 hour (In reality, it is not 1 hour; however, in this quiz we assume MTTR is 1 hour)
- Assuming we have 4 disks, 10 disks, and 20 disks for each RAID 0,1,1+0,5, and 6.
* MTTF is also known as MTBF (mean time between failure)
