No, it's "redundant array of independent disks."

Each disk letter (for example C drive) is physically written to 2 disks (SSDs here) simultaneously. If one dies, the other takes over so no down time while waiting for it to be replaced. They would have to both crap out at once for a long down time.

RAID is a spectrum of technologies used to combine disks into sets for both speed and/or redundancy

RAID0 takes the data and spreads it across all drives - speed, but any failure takes out the volume. So it is less safe than a single drive.

RAID1 takes the data and writes two copies. It can survive one failure, but you lose half the capacity.

RAID10 = RAID0 + RAID1 - so you have two copies, but the individual copies are spread across multiple disks.

RAID5

RAID6

RAID50

RAID60

there are others, but less common.

Went perfectly, they replaced the disk and rebuilt the RAID1 with only 13 minutes down time.
