Abstract
In recent years, arrays of small inexpensive disks have become a cost effective alternative that offers high performance and high capacity. Arrays of small disks contain many more components than a large single disk; therefore, they are prone to random failure. In this paper we present a technique to evaluate the effectiveness of the array in the presence of random failure and repair
