Advantages of RAID
RAID is an acronym for Redundant Array of independent Disks. With RAID enabled on a storage system you can connect two or more drives in the system so that they act like one big fast drive or set them up so that one drive in the system is used to automatically and instantaneously duplicate (or mirror) your data for real-time backup.
There are three reasons you might want a RAID system of drives.
- You need tons of storage space and you need it to be fast. (RAID 0)
- You want to instantaneously and automatically backup your data. (RAID 1)
- You want both. (RAID 5)
