RAID (Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks)
- RAID 0: Fast, but data is lost if one disk fails.
- RAID 1: Data is copied, storage capacity is reduced.
- RAID 3: (Not fully replicated) Data striped and parity data spread across disks.
- RAID 5: Data striping with parity, one disk failure is tolerable.
- RAID 6: Data striping with two parity blocks, handles multiple disk failures.
- RAID 10: Mirror pairs are striped
- Disks : Varies by type.
Network Types
- PAN: Personal Area Network (small network, transfers files)
- LAN: Local Area Network (devices in same building)
- WLAN: Wireless Local Network (wireless LAN)
