If you spend much time around computer scientists, you will likely head the term RAID on a semi-regular basis. No, the computer scientist you have been spending time around is not talking about the insecticide. They also aren’t talking about raiding the storage room of a competing tech company. Well, to be strictly accurate, they may be talking about these things, who knows, there might be ants in the office where this person works, but it’s unlikely. What’s more likely is that these people are talking about RAID storage systems.
