What is NAS storage?

Network Attached Storage. The word "storage" in the question is redundant, as the S in NAS is "Storage" It's an enclosure holding a large amount of RAID disk storage, which is directly attached to the network. The NAS does not need a decicated computer system to run it, as the enclosure contains the network interface card (or cards if it is connected to multiple network ports), and all of the required control circuitry.


What does the term raid server recovery mean?

The term "RAID server recovery" means just that: recovery of the RAID server. A RAID server is a computer that runs RAID software to act as a secondary storage.


Why does raid o not provide fault tolerance?

Different RAID systems have different effects on multiple hard drives. RAID 0 combines storage together. Say you have 2 250GB HDDs combined with RAID 0: that you gives you, essentially, 500GB of storage. The problem with RAID 0 is that if one of the drives were to fail, then the other is to fail too, because of the way RAID 0 works by distributing strands of data over both disks. RAID 0 is sometimes not considered to be a true RAID system because of the lack of fault tolerance. RAID 1 and 5 are more complex to describe, but they generally deal with the same thing: backups. Instead of combining storage, RAID 1 and 5 deal with clones of a particular drive to offer redundancy if one were to fail. Say you have 2 250GB HDDs under RAID 1, essentially giving you 250GB of storage. If one drive were to fail, then the other would serve as a replacement if such were to occur.

How do you setup a RAID network?

I'm not really sure what you really mean. You can set up a RAID array, but not a network that only consists of RAID. However, you can set a cluster NAS server which can utilize RAID arrays. However, RAID is never a substitute for backups, as with RAID arrays each storage device you add creates an additional point of failure - and in cases like RAID level 0 (striping), you will lose everything if even one drive fails.


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 Levels are determined by MTTF/number. To determine the raid levels one should reference the standard raid levels and determine what raid level your data storage capacity needs.


Is it safe for someone to use Raid in storage units?

It depends on the type of Raid being used. Raid Max Bug Barrier Pesticide is one formula that is designed to be used inside the home and in cabinets or other storage areas safely. Raid House and Garden Bug Killer is safe to use in general storage areas, but not near edibles and is not safe for pets to be exposed.
