are slow. This is true even if the parity RAID is functioning normally. When a hard disk
drive in a parity RAID fails, every other hard disk drive in the array is needed to recover
the failed hard disk drives data and to complete the repair operation.
Because write operations on a parity RAID array are slow, careful planning should be
taken when configuring a parity RAID array. For example, if you install the maximum six
hard disk drives in a Toshiba Magnia 3200 server and a drive fails, the read operation
from a failed disk would yield five physical I/O operations.
