Overview:
Modern hard disks come in sizes as large as 500GB, and continue to expand. Soon they will likely reach 1TB (Terra-Byte = 1000GB) and beyond. However, sometimes even the largest or fastest hard disks are not enough for certain applications. The acronym 'RAID' stands for Redundant Array of Independent (or Inexpensive) Disks. It is generally recommended that all disks in a RAID should be identical (or at the very least, the same size and speed). There are several variations designed to meet different needs. Some are for making larger, faster storage solutions. Others trade off size for increased reliability. Yet others try and accomplish both. This paper provides a rundown of the basic types of RAID available today.
