RAID Controller
A RAID controller is a device that manages multiple hard drives or solid-state drives (SSDs) to create a redundant array of independent disks (RAID). RAID is a method of combining multiple disks into a single logical unit that can provide improved performance, increased data reliability, or both. RAID controllers typically connect to the host computer via a high-speed interface such as PCI-E.
