The most common way to set up multiple storage drives is to configure a RAID array. Using RAID to combine multiple drives into a larger virtual drive will generally keep systems up and running ...

RAID requires additional drives and costs but isn't a substitute for backups. A redundant array of inexpensive disks (RAID) has been around for decades where multiple drives can be bundled into a ...

that are configured for increased speed and/or fault tolerance. See RAID. THIS DEFINITION IS FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY. All other reproduction requires permission.

With a little help from CRN's Channel Encyclopedia, here's a look at some network storage technologies, including NAS gateways, Fibre Channel SANs and RAID arrays. Network attached storage (NAS ...

RAID or Redundant Array of Independent Disks combines multiple disks into a single storage pool that the operating system views as a single drive. While enterprise systems use hardware RAID with a ...

Parity computations are used in RAID drive arrays for fault tolerance by calculating the data in two drives and storing the results on a third. The parity is computed by XOR'ing a bit from drive 1 ...

This is where Network-Attached Storage (NAS) systems come in. NAS utilizes RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) technology to distribute data across multiple drives, protecting against ...

[Action Retro] has a great video showing just such an escapade, the creation of a large RAID 0 array using a pile of USB floppy drives. Yes, taking one of the smallest and most unreliable pieces ...

Meanwhile, RAID or Redundant Array of Independent Disks is a technology that allows users to combine multiple, typically inexpensive, disks such that data redundancy can be created to prevent data ...
