Managing RAID on Linux, c2003: p. vii (RAID, also known as a Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks) p. 1 (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) p. 2 (RAID is a method by which many independent disks attached to a computer can be made, from the perspective of users and applications, to appear as a single disk. Performance can be dramatically improved, larger storage capacities can be achieved, specific disks can be used to transparently store data that can then be used to survive a disk failure) Linas Vepstas WWW Home page, May 6, 2003 (RAID, short for Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks, is a method whereby information is spread across several disks, using techniques such as disk striping (RAID Level 0) and disk mirroring (RAID level 1) to achieve redundancy, lower latency and/or higher bandwidth for reading and/or writing, and recoverability from hard-disk crashes) |
