RAID for beginners

A colleague has put up this diagram which shows examples of most of the common RAID levels.

Personally, I'd use "JBOD" instead of "cluster" but the latter is fine.

Nice. But RAID5 is kind of hard to represent that way. I guess RAID6 is not common enough to get a mention.

Pity, that. It deserves to be more common.
