RAID Overview

Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) is a storage technology consisting of one or more disks working in parallel. RAID technology allows an array of physical disks to be combined together to form a virtual disk, which appears as a single storage device to the user.

 

You can configure a RAID virtual disk in several different ways, with each configuration offering its own benefits. This chapter provides information about the properties of each available RAID level and how to choose a suitable RAID level.

 

See the Glossary for detailed description on supported RAID levels.
