Resiliency architecture layer of Windows Storage.

Question

Hi Everyone,
I have two question about Storage in Windows Server 2016 TP5.
The first question.
I was reading about Resilient storage for Windows Storage 2016. Follow documents of microsoft, there are 3 type protect data of volumes: mirror, parity and simple. Inside that have a parameter is columns.
I was read at link about Columns parameters but some confuse about stack of that and mirror,parity and simple.
I draw two pictures about that, please talk to me what's architecture right ?
1. In this architecture, I think the server must consuming more performance for mirror all chunk columns for data after stripes.

I can't upload images to forums right now, sorry about that.
2. In this picture, i think this is more reasonable.

Hi pnksys,
Based on my understanding, should be first columns then the raid.
You could also check the performance for the raid in the storage space.

Hi pnksys,
Thanks for your post.
Maybe you could refer to the document about storage space in server 2012, besides offering resiliency to drive failures, Storage Spaces also offers increased performance by striping data across multiple disks. You could refer to the articles below.

Thank your reply Mary Dong,
But i was read this link before post that question. Have a point confuse
"Mirror spaces add a layer of data copies below the stripe, which means that a two-way mirror space duplicates each individual column's data onto two disks."
If i understand right above, the architecture will like option 1 on my question: imgur.com/kvMOL3r
but i think Windows Server must consume more performance for mirror all chunk columns.
How do you think about that Mary Dong ?

Dear Mary Dong,
Thank your opinion about my first question.
Could you help me about the second problem ?

Hi,
Thanks for your feedback.
>Could you help me about the second problem ?
I could only say based on my knowledge, could be first the columns then the raid. As you said in first question. The column controls, for each stripe of data written, how many physical disks it writes to. From my personal view, so that column. could be first.
