TipWorld -> SQL -> RAID
RAID-7
Another modified version of RAID-5, this one differs by implementing a
write-cache. With this implementation, data is striped and the parity data is not. The parity data is held on one or more drives.

RAID-7 and RAID-S are just two examples of enhanced performance being applied to the RAID-5 architectures. Most RAID-5 mplementations are now delivering write-cache features.
