I keep hearing these over and over but I never did quite get how it works since the number is different and it does different thing apparently and wikipedia is quite not explaining it’s benefits and downsides. So Could someone explain how these raid systems work.

Raid0: you have many boxes. You throw your toys in them all. If you break a box you lose all your toys.

Raid1: you have 2 (4,6 etc) boxes. You put your toy in the box And it nakes a magic copy to box2. If you lose either box, it’s ok you still have your toy.

Raid5: you have 3 boxes. You put your first toy in box 1 and second toy in box2. Then you put. A “check” in box 3.
Your next toy goe in box2, then 3, then a check in box 1. Etc etc.
If you break a box, the check is used to repair your toys

Raid10: you take your set of toys from raid1 and put them inside raid0 (or vice versa)

Tried to make it as simple as I could
