RAID overview
Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) is a technology that can
combine two or more drives for fault tolerance and continued system
performance. The CallPilot RAID controller is a PCI RAID SCSI card
that provides high-performance disk mirroring. CallPilot uses RAID
Level 1.
With Level 1 mirroring, two equal-capacity disk drives mirror one
another. One disk drive serves as the backup copy of the other disk drive.
If one disk drive fails, the other continues to run.

„
