RAID - What is it?



<< Ugh...sorry....RAID FAQs are coming....not quite ready yet. >>



you're kidding, I could've sworn there was one already. Oh well, glad to see it's coming then 😉
 
Just a quick $0.05 version:
RAID I believe stands for Redundant Array of Independent Disks
It's purpose is either redundancy (duplication) of data - RAID 1 - or increased speed - RAID 0 - or a combination of the two - RAID 0+1 -
There are other types of RAID that offer a combination of redundancy and speed increase (RAID 5 and 7, I think) but the others are the most basic and easiest to understand.
A RAID array is a system of at least two hard drives that is treated as one hard drive by the computer. In the case of RAID 0 all of the data is split between the two drives so it can theoretically run at double the speed of the slowest drive. In RAID 1 the date is written to both drives simultaneously thus creating two copies of the same information. 0+1 combines these two attributes on a minimum of four drives.
