RAID array (also known as RAID drive group) is a group of multiple physical drives that uses a certain
common method to distribute data across the drives. A virtual drive (also known as virtual disk or logical
drive) is a partition in the drive group that is made up of contiguous data segments on the drives. Virtual drive
is presented up to the host operating system as a physical disk that can be partitioned to create OS logical
drives or volumes.
