Chapter 8 Disk Array
Purpose:
Disk array is a data storage virtualization technology that combines multiple physical disk drive
components into a single logical unit. An array stores data over multiple HDDs to provide
enough redundancy so that data can be recovered if one disk fails. Data is distributed across the
drives in one of several ways called "RAID levels", depending on what level of redundancy and
performance is required.
