                  RAID Overview |  
                  | 
                  Concept of RAID 
                  RAID (Redundant 
                  Array of Independent Disks) is an acronym first used in a 1988 
                  paper by Berkeley researchers Patterson, Gibson and Katz. The 
                  paper described array configuration and applications for 
                  multiple inexpensive hard disks which in turn provided 
                  redundancy and better access rates. When a RAID is created, 
                  accessing multiple individual disks now act as if the array 
                  were one large disk. It spreads data access out over these 
                  multiple disks, thereby reducing the risk of losing all data 
                  if one disk fails, and improving access time.  
                    
                  Why RAID? 
                  Typically RAID 
                  is used in large file servers, transaction of application 
                  servers, where data accessibility is critical and fault 
                  tolerance is required. Recently desktop users started to use 
                  RAID for almost any application where massive storage or high 
                  data transfers are required. RAID offers data production by 
                  utilizing striping, mirroring or both.   |  |
