MITX (Mini-ITX) - Size?	6.7” x 6.7” Used mostly in Small Home Theater Systems, Point of Sale Systems
LCD - Lighting Type?	Liquid Crystal Display Fluorescent Backlights
LED - Lighting Type?	Monitor Backlight Technology Light Emitting Diodes
OLED - Lighting Type?	Does not NEED Backlight-Self Illuminating. Thus, it’s Smaller/Thinner, but more expensive.
RAID0 - Method, Min # of Drives, Common Usage?	Stripping = SPEED Requires min of 2 Drives. Heavy Read Operations If 1 Drive fails, all Data Lost. + High Performance Speed - Data is LOST if one disk fails
RAID1 - Method, Min # of Drives, Common Usage?	Mirroring = REDUNDANCY Requires atleast 2 Drives Primary Purpose of RAID1 is Redundancy - Slows things down because you’re Mirroring/Writing the Data Twice. + Fault Tolerance, High Read Performance - LAG for Write Ops, Reduced Storage by 50%
RAID5 - Method, Min # of Drives, Common Usage?	Stripping + Parity = SPEED + REDUNDANCY Requires Minimum of 3 Drives. Normal File Storage & App Servers Stripping occurs with 2 of the 3 Drives, and the 3rd Drive does Parity. If 1 Drive Fails, data can easily be recreated - Replace the Failed Drive and Rebuild the Array. If more than 1 Drive Fails, you can’t rebuild the Array. + Speed and Fault Tolerance - LAG for Write Ops, Reduced Storage by 33%
RAID10 - Method, Min # of Drives, Common Usage?	Stripping & Mirroring = HIGH SPEED + HIGH REDUNDANCY Requires Minimum of 4 Drives Highly Utilized Database Servers 2 of the Drives are RAID1 and Mirrored to the other 2 RAID1 Drives If you lose a Mirrored PAIR, you are in trouble. You can lose 2 Drives as long as they aren’t in the same Mirrored Pair. Includes Stripping across two drives for faster performance and Mirroring of the Stripped Array for Safety. + Write Performance and Strong Fault Tolerance - Reduced Storage by 50%, Limited Scalability
RAID6 - Method, Min # of Drives, Common Usage?	Stripping + Double Parity Requires 4 Drives Minimum Large File Storage & App Servers It’s like RAID5, Stripping with Parity, but instead of 1 Parity Drive you get 2 Parity Drives. You can lose up to 2 Drives before Data Loss. + Extra Level of Redundancy, High Read Performance - Low Write Performance, Reduced Storage by 40%
