RAID stands for Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks.The main purpose of raid is to increase logical capacity of storage devices used,improve read/write performance and ensure redundancy in case of a hard disk failure. Raid devices are marked by two letters and a number. Eg. md0,md1,md2. Raid is mostly used in large file servers where data accessibility is higher. Raid unit appears to be equivalent to a single large capacity disk drive. The remarkable benefit of disk array is that if any single disk in the RAID fails, the system and array still continues to function without loss of data. This is possible because the redundancy data is stored on separate disk drives and the RAID can reconstruct the data that was stored on the failed disk drive.
