Operating system
Basic software that manages and controls operation of a computer. Microsoft® Windows® and UNIX are operating systems.
RAID
RAID (redundant array of independent disks) is an array of multiple, independent hard drives that provide high performance and fault tolerance. The RAID subsystem controller implements several levels of the Berkeley RAID technology. An appropriate RAID level is selected when the volume sets are defined or created. This decision is based on drive capacity, data availability, (fault tolerance or redundancy), and drive performance.
RAID level
RAID level refers to the level of data performance and protection of a volume set. RAID arrays can be implemented in several ways, using technologies such as mirroring, striping, duplexing, and parity. The RAID levels supported in the RAID subsystem are RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 10 and RAID 5.
RAID 0
RAID 0, also known as striping, is the simplest RAID level. RAID 0 does not involve data redundancy, but it does offer the best
