RAID (redundant array of independent [or inexpensive] disks) Method

for creating a fault-tolerant storage system. RAID uses multiple hard drives in

various configurations to offer differing levels of speed/data redundancy.

RAID 0 Uses byte-level striping and provides no fault tolerance.

RAID 0+1 A RAID 0 configuration created by combining two RAID 1s.

Provides both speed and redundancy, but requires at least four disks.

RAID 1 Uses mirroring or duplexing for increased data redundancy.

RAID 5 Uses block-level and parity data striping. Requires three or more

drives.

RAID 5 volume (dynamic disks) A software-based RAID 5 volume made

up of three or more dynamic disks with equal-sized unallocated space.

Created with Windows Disk Management.

RAID 6 Disk striping with extra parity. Like RAID 5, but with more parity

data. Requires four or more drives, but you can lose up to two drives at once

and your data is still protected.

RAID 10 The opposite of RAID 0+1, two mirrored RAID 0 configurations.

Provides both speed and redundancy, and also requires four disks.

rails Separate DC voltage paths within an ATX power supply.

rainbow table Compressed file that contains a mapping of hashed

passwords (or other account information) to the corresponding unhashed,

plaintext password. Rainbow tables are useful for reversing unsalted hashes

in older/legacy authentication systems, but are useless for reversing properly

salted hashes used by well-designed, modern authentication systems.

RAM (random access memory) Memory that can be accessed at random—

that is, memory that you can write to or read from without touching the
