The complex configuration of a RAID array has been simplified greatly. With the introduction of terabyte hard drives home users alike are free to organize large personal collections of photos, music, videos, documents, and other important files. A basic RAID 5 array can be easily managed to maintain and backup important data without relying on a single hard drive. A data recovery scenario is almost removed as a possibility with a RAID array, however even RAIDs can fail. Multiple drives failing simultaneously is extremely rare. A single problematic drive can be easily replaced without interrupting data management.
A RAID setup will also increase overall system performance. A striped array allows for quick access to data for multiple users. It can be very noticeable when working on large video files or even a music production. Adding solid state drives into the mix boosts performance even more. File sharing has never been easier with a RAID server. A RAID system makes for a fast media home server or even a reliable data server for corporations.
