Apple offers a couple of software RAID solutions for people interested in either creating a larger disk out of two, or mirroring two disks together for data redundancy in the event of a drive failure.

In the late 1980s, processing power and memory performance were increasing by more than 40% each year. However, due to mechanical limitations, hard drive performance was not able to keep up. To ...

RAID, redundant array of independent (or inexpensive) disks, is a system that employs two or more disk drives in combination, through hardware or software, for performance and fault tolerance. RAID ...

Storage spaces is pretty rad and works fine as a simple standalone software raid solution, or a multi-tiered hybrid storage system. And now with storage spaces direct, apparently clustered storage. I ...
