8 Bay RAID Drive Storage Arrays

What is RAID storage?

RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) storage combines multiple hard drives into a single unit, offering improved performance, data protection, and storage capacity. It finds applications in video editing, photo editing, and backup solutions.

In video editing, RAID enhances performance by distributing data across multiple drives, enabling faster rendering, real-time editing, and smooth playback. It also provides data redundancy, safeguarding footage and project files in case of drive failure.

Similarly, in photo editing, RAID offers increased storage space and faster access speeds for handling large RAW files or high-resolution images. RAID configurations ensure data redundancy, minimising the risk of image loss and accelerating importing, exporting, and manipulation tasks.

RAID is also very useful for backup purposes. RAID levels like RAID 1 or RAID 10 mirror data across drives, providing redundancy and protecting critical files. This enhances data security, reduces the chance of data loss due to hardware failures, and increases the likelihood of successful data recovery.
