What is RAID?
RAID originally (Redundant array of inexpensive disks now commonly known as Redundant array of independent disks)
The term "RAID" was invented by David Patterson, Garth A. Gibson, and Randy Katz at the University of California, Berkeley in 1987.
RAID is a robust method of storing critical data where 2 or more disks are combined to form a single virtual disk and the data is distributed on the small stripes created on the disk.
Using the RAID ensures that the data on each independent disk is safe as it reduces the load on the disk as the data is distributed also enables the server to perform faster than normal to fetch data.
RAID is usually configured to ensure data loss due to disk failures.
RAID allows data to be replicated on one or more disks; the replica ensures that even if one disk fails the data can be fetched from the other disks while the administrator can resolve the disk failure minimizing the downtime.
