6-7. Toshiba RAID* support
What is RAID?
– Supports RAID Level 1* and ensures that
data from main HDD (hard disk drive) is
mirrored to optional Ultra-slim SelectBay
HDD for full data redundancy and protection
against accidental data loss
– Data mirroring ensures data availability in
event of HDD crash and allows for quick
and simple swapping of defective HDD with
intact HDD for minimum downtime
– RAID stands for Redundant Array of
Inexpensive (or sometimes "Independent")
Disks. RAID is a method of creating one or
more pools of data storage space from
several hard drives.
– It can offer fault tolerance and higher
throughput levels than a single hard drive or
group of independent hard drives.
