Also known as Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks, RAID array, Redundant Array of Independent Disks
RAID is an orchestrated approach to computer data storage in which data is written to more than one secondary storage device. Instead of storing all data in a single hard disk drive or solid-state drive, RAID coordinates two or more such devices into a disk array. When the computer writes data to secondary storage, the RAID system distributes the data across the array. There are several possible ways of doing this, and those various configurations are called RAID levels.
RAID is a data storage method that spreads your computer's information across multiple hard drives or solid-state drives instead of keeping everything on a single drive. It matters because distributing data this way can improve reliability and performance, with different RAID configurations offering various combinations of these benefits.
