RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks, also: Disk Array) is a procedure for combining two hard disks to create a logical unit. A so-called disk array can be used advantageously to improve performance or alternatively to improve error tolerance (data protection). Error tolerance is facilitated by means of data redundancy. If one drive malfunctions, a different drive contains an exact copy of the data. This can prevent an operating system from malfunctioning or data from being lost. AMILO Notebook operating manual, edition 3 39 Working with the notebook The operating system detects all hard disks in a disk array as a single physical hard disk. The individual disk drives in a disk array are called "members". Member configuration information is recorded in the reserved sector of the hard disk. With this information the hard disk can be identified as a member. There are usually a few methods by which hard disks can be combined. These methods are referred to as different RAID levels.
