Thesis aims to examine issues of disk arrays and their deployment in small business. It will focus not only on theoretical description of technologies, but also to carry out practical tests and performance characteristics, conduct or analysis in the field of non-standard situations. To describe the theoretical background of the problem, I used the available literature and web resources. The practical test then served on borrowed Adaptec RAID controller and on the motherboard Asus. Given the rapid evolution of SSD drives in my test also included the performance tests of this device. Recent work also includes a survey among small business company, which serves to assess the various criteria for evaluation. Currently, it is very difficult to find specific tests of controllers or less usual levels of disk arrays, which many manufacturers use. The results can therefore serve as a valuable source of information for users seeking the best solution for their needs. They may be useful as theoretical tests and service experience. From the previous lines then follows the structure of work. The first part is purely theoretical, and aims to acquaint the reader with problems. The second part focuses on the synthetic and practical test of arrays and SSD and is accompanied by a description of the behavior of various configurations of hard disk failure. The last two parts evaluates the results, the criteria are partially dependent on the results of the survey, which can be found in the last part.
