If you really want to know what's RAID, I suggest you read this highly interesting article.

But if you only want a quick explanation, RAID is linking two drives together to get better performance and/or security. The data is split on two drives so you're theoretically doubling your transfer rate to your hard drive(s). The most common form of RAID are 0, 1, and 0+1. RAID 0 boosts performance as I just explained, but if one drive fails you're screwed. RAID 1 is also called mirroring and it dupplicates the data of drive a on drive b for security purposes. Finally RAID 0+1 is a combination of the two, meaning you get extra performance and security. However, you're not forced to use RAID on most board that have it and you can just use them as extra IDE ports, that's what I do with my KT7-RAID.

Hope this helps,
Frank
