Is the disk array known as raid typed as raid Raid RAid RAId or RAID?

The term is an acronym for Redundant Array of Independent Disks. As such, the term is typed all in capital letters: RAID. However, over time, this may change to lowercase, as has happened with other acronyms that have passed into common language. Examples are LASER (Light Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiaton), RADAR (RAdio Detection And Ranging), and Scuba (Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus).
I hope this helps. If you have other questions, feel free to send me a message.

What is a group of hard drive implementing RAID called?
A group of hard drives assembled into a RAID array is often referred to as, well, a "RAID array" a "RAID stack" or a "RAID cluster."
Is A group of hard drives implementing RAID called an array?
RAID stands for a redundant array of independent disks. Thus, a group of two or more hard disks comprise a RAID, or array of physically separate drives.
What level of raid does parity error checking occurs when data is written across the disk array?
RAID 3
A group of two or more integrated hard disks is called?
Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID)
What exactly does the term raid data recovery refer to?
"RAID" is short for "Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks." RAID are groups of storage systems. RAID Recovery is the act of recovering data from those storage systems.
RAID stands for what?
Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks.
What are some tips on building a raid array?
A RAID (Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks) array requires two identical drives, preferably of the same brand, model, and capacity. A few SATA cables are also necessary for building a RAID array. Both drives then need to be installed, as well as connected by SATA cables.
What is RAID level in DBMS?
RAID is the use of multiple disks and data distribution techniques to get better Resilience and/or Performance RAID stands for: Redundant Array of Inexpensive / Independent Disks

What is raid support?
RAID stands for "Redundant Array of Inexpensive/Independent Disks". RAID can increase performance and/or data redundancy and/or capacity. There are many different RAID types, the most common being RAID 0 (stripe), RAID 1 (mirror) and RAID 5 (stripe with parity).RAID works by combining two or more hard disks.In a RAID 0 (stripe) array, data is split equally between the number of disks in the array. For example, when a 2 MB file is written to a RAID 0 array with two hard drives, the file is split in to two parts and 1 MB of data is written to each hard drive. This increases capacity and performance, but sharply decreases redundancy since only one of the drives needs to fail for all information to be lost.In a RAID 1 (mirror) array, a complete copy is written to each hard drive in the array. Capacity and performance stay the same, but redundancy is increased. As long as one drive works, you will not lose data.In a RAID 5 (stripe with parity) array, you need at least three hard drives. Files are split up to all but one of the drives (similar to RAID 0) and a parity bit is written to the last drive. This increases performance, capacity and redundancy. Performance is not as good as RAID 0, but still better than RAID 1. Redundancy is not as good as RAID 1, but is still quite reliable. Capacity is the sum of all but one of the drives.There are other RAID levels, but they are not as common.RAID support simply means that whatever device is being described supports RAID. Nearly anything supports RAID. The only computer component that "RAID support" would be relevant to would be a computer motherboard or an IDE or SATA controller.
