How does RAID 5 work?

What will be an ideal response?


A RAID 5 requires three disks. Data is written across the disks in a stripe, with one disk being used for parity. The parity information is a mathematical calculation that represents the data that was just written to the disks. If one of the disks is lost, the data can be rebuilt using the existing data and the parity information. The parity information is distributed among all disks in the array so that no single disk holds all the parity information.
