Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID)

Summary

RAID is a data storage virtualization technology that combines multiple physical disk drive components into one or more logical units for improved data redundancy and performance.

Detailed Description

RAID can be implemented using hardware or software, depending on the system architecture. It utilizes various levels (0 to 10) to define how data is distributed across drives. Common RAID configurations provide benefits such as increased read/write speeds, fault tolerance, and backup solutions. Each level has unique advantages and disadvantages regarding performance, redundancy, and complexity.
