Answer 1)RAID stands for Redundant Array of Independent Disks and is a storage technology which provides increased
levels of reliability and function through redundancy.
There are several different types of RAID, but here at V7 Host, we use RAID 10. RAID 10 is a combination of
RAID 0 and RAID 1 and provides optimum performance and redundancy.

Answer 3)RAID stands for Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks. This refers to multiple hard drives so if one hard drive
fails your website is still online.

Answer 4)RAID is short for Redundant Array of Independent Disks. This offers both speed and redundancy for hard drives.
For example if you use RAID0 the diskspace of your hard drives will be combined. It will also double the speed
of your read/writes. If you use RAID1 your hard drives will contain the exact same data so if one were to
fail, you would have another one available.

Answer 5)RAID (redundant array of independent disks) is used to increase the reliability of data storage hardware. RAID
should not be used as a substitute for backups as file system corruption for example can still cause loss of
data. Common levels of RAID are 0 - striped or appended offering no protection of data loss but increases
throughput, 1 basic mirroring of data over multiple disks, 5 striped data with distributed parity. Different
raid levels can also be mixed (provided enough disks are available) to form RAID 1+0/5+0/etc.
