With the exponential growth in computing and microprocessor technology, it is natural to expect that secondary storage technology must also take steps to keep up in improving performance and enhancing reliability with the fundamental need. Redundant array of independent disks (RAID), based on the magnetic disk technology, is a widely used tactic for data storage that enables greater levels of performance and/or good fault tolerance for protecting against the disk failure. RAID core concept is cycling around combining together a group of real hard disks into a single storage system where they work collaboratively as a single logical entity and the failure of one of them is not quite harm. In this research, the different types of RAID will be presented and a comparison will be made between them.
