RAID-6Plus: A Comprised Methodology for Extending RAID-6 Codes
Table 1
Feature comparison of three coding ways for X drive.
| Coding methods | Element example | Involved element | Merit | Shortcoming |
| Mirroring of single disk | | 1 | Simple and can maximize reduction of reconstruction window for specific drive | Only covering replicated drive, not able to cover other drives, causing imbalance and fluctuation |
| Short combination | | 2 | In between |
| Full combination | | 5 | Maximizing fault-tolerance for the whole system | Unable to reduce reconstruction window |
