Understanding RAID Levels

RAID means Redundant Array of Independent Disks. When you create storage configurations, you can use several different types of RAID technology, called RAID levels, to create multiple-drive arrays, or drive groups, on which data will be stored. The computer operating system sees each drive group as a single virtual drive, not as a collection of individual drives.
