What is RAID 6? Double-Parity RAID

RAID 6 provides the only thing better than one backup -- two backups. Learn what RAID 6 is and how it protects data in this video.

RAID stands for redundant array of independent disks, and RAID 6 is a RAID technique used as a data backup plan. Unlike other RAID configurations, RAID 6 provides two opportunities for disk failure before any data is lost, because it creates two sets of parity data.

However, while RAID 6 provides a intensified sense of security, it needs to make two sets of data, so it costs more to hold the same amount of data that a single-disk configuration would. It’s foolproof, but not the best configuration for every scenario.
