RAID, short for Redundant Array of (Inexpensive or Independent) Disks, is an important component for servers. RAID allows for crash-proof hard drive systems. How does it work? What is the difference between the many RAID levels? We will explain everything in this article!

Nice Article, although I always used RAID 5+1 (or 6+1 for that matter) to denote a raid 5 array with a hot spare drive, usualy on a good hardware card that can automaticly rebuild arrays in the event of a disk failing
