RAID is an acronym for Redundant Array of Independent Disks; although the erstwhile quoted terminology is Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks. In any case it is a cluster of hard drives combined to optimize storage and performance in compliance with your needs. In simple words, RAID storage employs several hard drives or disks, which is an attempt to provide fault tolerance, to improve overall performance, and to increase storage capacity in a system. This is where this storage technology overshadows the performance of traditional storage devices using only a single hard drive to store data.
With RAID technology, data replication takes place in more than one hard drive in tandem, thereby ensuring fast retrieval if any one fails to preserve. This technology is used especially by enterprise businesses because of the fact that it is server-enabled rather than a storage solution for personal computers.
