In this post, Brian said that the servers have "RAID drives installed." My question is, what are those? |

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAID Only thing I understand from that is "increased input/output performance". |

In it's basic form, RAID is a hardware setup when a computer has [at least] two disks. Data is written to disk one, and copied entirely on to disk two. That way if disk one fails, disk two is standing by to take over and no data is lost. There are different variations depending on how many drives you have.
