Definition: RAID: Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks, a technology that allows computer users to achieve mainframe-class storage reliability from low-cost and less reliable PC-class disk-drive components via the technique of arranging the devices into arrays for redundancy. "RAID" is now used as an umbrella term for computer data storage schemes that can divide and replicate data among multiple hard disk drives. RAID's various designs all involve two key design goals: increased data reliability or increased input/output performance. When multiple physical disks are set up to use RAID technology, they are said to be in a RAID array. This array distributes data across multiple disks, but the array is seen by the computer user and operating system as one single disk. Source: Wikipedia
