A Case for Redundant Arrays of Inexpensive Disks (RAID)

Summary: Introduces RAID as a cost-effective alternative to SLED for I/O bottlenecks; outlines five RAID levels with distinct cost/performance. Shows potential gains in throughput, reliability, power, and scalability; compares RAID to IBM 3380 and Fujitsu Super Eagle, arguing for its impact on data-management workloads.
