Disk Arrays

Many businesses consider data security to be one of the most important considerations in setting up an IT infrastructure. System downtime and drive crashes must be avoided at all times, lest data stored on computer drives be compromised. To prevent scenarios that could result in data loss, many businesses opt to support their computer networks with disk arrays or RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks).

A disk array or RAID is a device that enables the repeated storage of data onto different disks, improving data reliability through error tolerance. The resulting data replicas serve as valuable backups in case one of the computer's drives fail or crash. RAID is also categorized into several levels, from RAID 0 to RAID 6. Each of these levels has its own purpose, but RAID 4 and RAID 5 devices are most commonly used today.
