RAID Capacity Calculator

Calculate usable capacity, efficiency and disk fault tolerance for RAID 0, 1, 5, 6 and 10 with disk count, size and hot spares.

$ disks: N x capacity
$ RAID 5 => (N-1)
$ RAID 6 => (N-2)
$ RAID 10 => N/2
$ RAID != backup
Quick decision

RAID capacity follows the level and disk count, but performance and protection also depend on disk type, controller, workload and rebuild time.

Calculator

This tool produces a starting estimate for capacity planning; validate production decisions with load tests and real monitoring data.

Calculation result

Recommendation

Change the inputs and calculate again.

Capacity formulas

With equal disks: RAID 0 ≈ N×disk; RAID 1 one-disk capacity; RAID 5 (N−1)×disk; RAID 6 (N−2)×disk; RAID 10 roughly half.

Hot spare is not usable capacity

A hot spare waits for rebuild and reduces total purchased-capacity efficiency.

RAID is not backup

Deletion, ransomware, corruption and site disaster still require independent backups.

Rebuild risk

Large disks can rebuild for a long time and stress surviving drives.

Frequently asked questions

Minimum disks for RAID 5?

Three active disks.

Minimum for RAID 6?

Four active disks.

RAID 10 disk count?

At least four and an even number of active disks.

Mixed disk sizes?

Simple arrays are generally constrained by the smallest disk; implementation details vary.
