RAID Glossary Term RAID Array Fault tolerance Intel® Application Accelerator Mirrored/ Mirroring Parity Physical Drive RAID Redundant Information Technology S-ATA Striped/Striping Definition A collection of drives which collectively act as a single storage system, which can tolerate the failure of a drive without losing data, and which operate independently of each other. The ability of a computer to continue its junction, even after one or more hard disk drives have failed. Software program that replaces the original ATA drivers provided with the Microsoft® Windows® operating system. Provides redundancy by writing identical data to each member disk of the array. A type of data protection where redundant information is calculated from actual data values. The actual hard disk drive. Redundant array of independent disks. Additional computer components, such as hard disk drives that are installed to back up the primary storage disks in case of failure. Serial Advanced Technology Attachment. Standard used for serial signaling technology and is used for connecting hard disk drives. A performance-oriented data mapping technique. Data written to the array are divided into stripes and written across the disks of the array. 150 VGX-XL2A Digital Living System

RAID Glossary
This glossary contains some basic term that may enhance your
understanding of RAID technology.
RAID Glossary
Term
Definition
RAID Array
A collection of drives which collectively act
as a single storage system, which can toler-
ate the failure of a drive without losing data,
and which operate independently of each
other.
Fault tolerance
The ability of a computer to continue its
junction, even after one or more hard disk
drives have failed.
Intel
®
Application
Accelerator
Software program that replaces the original
ATA drivers provided with the Microsoft
®
Windows
®
operating system.
Mirrored/
Mirroring
Provides redundancy by writing identical
data to each member disk of the array.
Parity
A type of data protection where redundant
information is calculated from actual data
values.
Physical Drive
The actual hard disk drive.
RAID
Redundant array of independent disks.
Redundant
Information
Technology
Additional computer components, such as
hard disk drives that are installed to back up
the primary storage disks in case of failure.
S-ATA
Serial Advanced Technology Attachment.
Standard used for serial signaling technol-
ogy and is used for connecting hard disk
drives.
Striped/Striping
A performance-oriented data mapping tech-
nique. Data written to the array are divided
into stripes and written across the disks of
the array.
