W00t, easy question to close the year 😀 :w00t:Not really sure though why a Microsoft resource is so necessary when the question itself is about a pretty universal concept.

Can't see the need for a Microsoft reference on a question that's about something universal. But I agree with Tom - I'd never use a Wikipedia reference as sole support for any statement.

FYI: the "I" in the original paper stood for "Inexpensive":

My Master's degree program won't let me use Wikipedia at all... If it doesn't come from the university library as a scholarly resource, use it at your own risk... 😀

Yes, 'independent' is misleading - how are disks in RAID 5 'independent' when the data is striped across them? And in RAID 0 the disks are obviously wholly dependent on each other. They're only independent in RAID 1 or RAID 10.
I know it's all over the web and text books now, but it's wrong. Gartner has a definition on its website headed RAID (Redundant Array Of Independent Disks), which says under RAID 0 'if one drive fails, the entire disk array subsystem is unavailable'??!?
It's not specific to Microsoft and so doesn't require a Microsoft reference.
Just to be (even more?) pedantic, 'independent' is not spelt 'independant'.

Thanks to you all for your thoughts on my question. It keeps me thinking and learning, which is why I'm here.
All the best for 2013.
Dave.
