 Answer:

RAID is an acronym for "Redundant Array of Independent Disks". It is used to provide fault tolerance to the disks. It is a disk system which contain multiple disks known as array,which provide greater storage capacity,reliability and enhances the performance. RAID is categorized into six levels i.e 0 to 5 . Each level is having different algorithm and implemented for fault tolerance. Basically RAID is not the part of SQL Server but using RAID the SQL Server performance can be enhanced. SQL Server uses RAID levels 0,1, and 5.
