<h2>RAID level-6</h2>
<p>A RAID level that uses data striping and block interweaving to distribute data
  across four or more physical drives. It is similar to RAID level-5 but with two sets of parity instead of one.
 The second set of parity information improves fault tolerance. RAID level-6 can handle two simultaneous drive failures,
 where other single RAID levels can handle, at most, only one. </p>
