Hardware RAID

From Govit

"A redundant array of independent disks (RAID) storage solution that uses a processor separate from the application processor; and that provides nonvolatile memory for the data and instructions it receives from the host system. The term ""hardware RAID"" generally implies a dedicated disk array controller board � with its own microprocessor; memory and microcode � that implements the RAID functions and computations. However; the concept can be extended to storage servers that perform RAID operations using standard computer hardware and operating-system software. See RAID."
