Best Answer

Fault tolerance is the ability of a system to continue working even when a fault exists. In the case of RAID, which stands for Redundant Array of Inexpensive Discs, fault tolerance is provided by having data recorded on more than one drive, and also by having more than one power supply. Note that RAID 0 is not fault telerant because it is simply stripes the data to increase size and bandwidth, but provides no redundancy. RAID 1 and RAID 5 are fault tolerant, to various levels.
