I've tried Webopedia, Wikipedia and a few other websites that have attempted to explain what RAID is, but I just don't get it. What is RAID?? I hear all of this talk about Striping and Mirroring and it just goes through one ear and out the other. Could someone explain what RAID is and what these terms are in monkey talk? Just get me to understand what it is and what its used for, then if you want you can go ahead and get technical with it.
Just for your information, I'm asking because the motherboard I am getting has RAID, which is something I've never had before. It has 0/1/0+1/5... whatever the heck that means. lol
