A Redundant Array of Independent Disks ("redundant array of independent disks, RAID) is a computerized system that uses a set of hard drives to share or replicate the information.
The benefits of RAID are to enhance data integrity, fault tolerance and / or performance, than using a single disk.
In its simplest level, RAID allows you to combine a set of disks in one logical unit.
In this way the operating system, instead of seeing different disks, it sees only one. The
RAID is typically used in servers, and is usually implemented with the same capacity disks.
With the decline in the cost of hard drives and RAID technology, with the spread in motherboard chipsets, RAID is often offered as an option on both the high-end computers and on those used by home users, especially if spent on tasks that require a large data storage, such as audio / video editing.
