RAID Volume
A block of capacity, allocated from a RAID Array and arranged into a RAID
topology. The operating system sees a RAID Volume as a physical disk.
SCSI
Small Computer System Interface
Serial ATA (SATA)
New storage interface designed to replace parallel ATA (e.g. IDE technology).
SATA was designed for a variety reasons, including performance headroom,
cabling issues, and voltage tolerance requirements.
Strip
Grouping of data on a single physical disk within a RAID Volume
Stripe
The sum of all strips in a horizontal axis across physical disks within a RAID
Volume
Sustained transfer rate
Rate at which the drive can transfer data sequentially from multiple tracks and
cylinders on the disk (closer to real-world file transfers)
Theoretical transfer rate
Actual speed that the drive can read bits from the surface of the platter or
write bits to the surface of the platter (can be used to compare drives against
one another)
