raid = Redundant Array Inexpensive Disks
It's a technique to use multiple disks in order to provide better data reliablility. Several RAID levels exist. See the link above for some examples. This is not the same as JABOD - Just A Bunch Of Disks.

RAID allows for the use of multiple hard drives for the redundancy of data or faster access to that data.
There are multiple level of raid, and each has it's own characteristics. The most common RAID levels used are 1 and 5.
