what is RAID?

RAID :"Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID)".

It protects against a disk failure.

There are many levels of RAID in the data storage industry.

The most common level, and one that is used by Teradata, is RAID-1, also called MIRRORING.

With RAID-1, each primary disk has a mirror image, or an exact copy of all its data on another disk. The contents of both disks are identical.
