  • Page 77: About Raid

    About RAID RAID, an acronym for Redundant Array of Independent Disks, is a technology that provides increased storage functions and reliability through redundancy. This is achieved by combining multiple hard disk drives into a logical unit, where data is distributed across the drives in one of several ways called RAID levels. When a group of independent physical hard disk drives are set up to use RAID technology, they are in a RAID array.
