Best answer: Redundant array of independent/inexpensive disks (RAID) is a technology that allows for the storing of data across multiple hard drives. With NAS, the aim of RAID is to achieve data redundancy to reduce data loss and improve performance.
[h=3]What is RAID?[/h]RAID stands for redundant array of inexpensive/independent disks. It's a group of independent drives that operate as a fused single array. You can think of it as two or more drives joined together to create a single pool of storage. This method helps to improve performance as well as offer redundancy in case a drive fails.
