RAID 5
A data placement policy using parity-based protection for storing stripes of 'n' logical blocks of data and one logical block of parity across a set of 'n+1' independent storage devices where the parity and data blocks are interleaved across the storage devices.
Data stored using this form of RAID is able to survive a single storage device failure without data loss.
