Appendix B – Glossary

A disk array in which part of the storage capacity is used to store redundant information about

user data stored on the remainder of the storage capacity. The redundant information enables

regeneration of user data in the event that one of the array member disks or the access path to

it fails. See Parity. Different RAID levels offer different data throughput speeds and fault

tolerance (data redundancy). RAID 0 does not feature redundant information but is nonetheless

considered a special type of RAID.
