We’ll give them an ‘A’ for effort…

In fact, RAID means “Redundant Arrays of Independent Disks” and “is a technology that employs the simultaneous use of two or more hard disk drives to achieve greater levels of performance, reliability, and/or larger data volume sizes.” More details can be found on Wikipedia.

RAID controllers are available on all of iWeb?s dedicated servers and, among other things, can be used to run a backup server.
