    Read penalty = 1 _ Write penalty = 1
    RAID 1 and 10
    Read penalty = 1 _ Write penalty = 2
    RAID 5
    Read penalty = 1 _ Write penalty = 4

    Load-based. "
  85. 85Round-robin."distributes the load equally to each server, regardless of the current number of connections or the response time
    suitable when the servers in the cluster have equal processing capabilities; otherwise, some servers may receive more requests than they can process while others are using only part of their resources."
  86. 86Weighted round-robin."accounts for the different processing capabilities of each server.
    Administrators manually assign a performance weight to each server, and a scheduling sequence is generated "
