RAID Background R 2 RAID Background RAID (Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks) was originally conceived at the University of California at Berkeley in 1987 by David A. Patterson, Garth Gibson, and Randy H. Katz. The focus of their research was to improve storage subsystem performance and reliability. As a result of their findings, they proposed five levels of RAID (RAID 0 - RAID 5) to provide a balance of performance and data protection. Each RAID level is designed for speed, data protection, or a combination of both. Patterson, Gibson, and Katz published their findings in a document titled "A Case for Redundant Arrays of Inexpensive Disks (RAID)." This document is archived at the University of California, Berkeley: http://sunsite.berkeley.edu/TechRepPages/CSD-87-391 RAID was designed to improve the way computers manage and access mass storage of data by providing an independent and redundant system of disks. Instead of writing to one Single Large Expensive Disk (SLED), RAID writes to multiple independent disks. User's Manual 11
