Raid Technology
What is a RAID? RAID is an acronym for Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks. The concept was conceived at the University of California, Berkeley and IBM holds the intellectual patent on RAID level 5. Some of the design goals of the RAID storage system were to provide performance improvements, storage reliability and recovery, and scalability. The redundancy concept employed by RAID systems is unique and provides a method to recover if one drive should fail within the system. In fact, today's RAID controller cards have the ability to continue reading and writing data even if one drive is 'off-line'.

What is a compat disc?
A compact disc is a standard for storage of digital data in machine-readable form, accessible with a laser-based reader. CDs are 4-3/4'' in diameter and are faster and more accurate than magnetic tape for data storage. Faster, because even though data is generally written on a CD contiguously within each track, the tracks are directly accessible, meaning the tracks can be accessed and played back in any order.
