rebuild
The regeneration and writing onto one or more replacement hard disks of all the data from a failed hard disk in a
redundant RAID array. Rebuild is usually performed in the background while applications are accessing data in the
array.
reconstruction

.
redundancy
Maintaining duplicates for any given component in a system so the system can automatically replace a failed
component with a working substitute. A parity RAID array's members are redundant since surviving members may
collectively replace the data from a failed hard disk.

SCSI
Stands for Small Computer System Interface. A parallel interface standard used to connect various types of peripheral
device, (such as disk drives) to computers. Although SCSI is an ANSI standard, it exists in several variations.
SCSI array
A group of hard disks connected to the same SCSI array controller and accessed as a single storage unit. It is not
apparent to users that an array is actually more than one disk drive.
SCSI array controller
The electronic circuitry used to control a SCSI array.
