Introduction

RAID — which stands for Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks, or alternatively Redundant Array of Independent Disks (a less specific name, and thus now the generally accepted one) — is a technology that employs the simultaneous use of two or more hard disk drives to achieve greater levels of performance, reliability, and/or larger data volume sizes.
