 ABSTRACT

RAID is now used as an umbrella term for computer data storage schemes that can
divide and replicate data among multiple physical drives. The physical drives are said to be in a
RAID, which is accessed by the operating system as one single drive. The different schemes or
architectures are named by the word RAID followed by a number (e.g., RAID 0, RAID 1). Each
scheme provides a different balance between two key goals: increase data reliability and increase
input/output performance.

RAID, acronym for Redundant Array of Independent Disks (originally Redundant Array of
Inexpensive Disks), is a storage technology that provides increased reliability and functions
through redundancy. This is achieved by combining multiple disk drive components into a
logical unit, where data is distributed across the drives in one of several ways called "RAID
levels"; this concept is an example of storage virtualization and was first defined by David A.
Patterson, Garth A. Gibson, and Randy Katz at the University of California, Berkeley in 1987 as
Redundant Arrays of Inexpensive Disks.Marketers representing industry RAID manufacturers
later attempted to reinvent the term to describe a redundant array of independent disks as a
means of dissociating a low-cost expectation from RAID technology.
