Redundant Array of Independant (or Inexpensive) Disks.
There are several configurations of RAID.
Raid 0 = stripping with no redundancy
Raid 1 = mirror
Raid 5 = stripping across many drives with redundancy
There are many other configurations as well

RAID is a standard for protecting data by copying it across multiple hard drives. Used on servers, it allows you to take two or more hard drives, combine them together, and store data in such a way that if one of the drives were to die, the remain drive(s) could be used to completed reconstruct the data. It requires special hardware and drivers to run a RAID array.

...Looking at the answers, thus far.. This is probably a different RAID. I just simply thought it was a brand of bug killer, LOL.
