AI Thread Summary

RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) is a technology used to improve data redundancy and performance in storage systems. The necessity of RAID depends on specific use cases, such as the need for data protection or increased read/write speeds. For hardware, a RAID controller is essential, and options include dedicated RAID cards or onboard RAID capabilities. A common recommendation is to use a setup with eight drives in a RAID configuration, supplemented by two additional drives on an onboard RAID array. This configuration balances performance and redundancy without requiring excessive speed, which is often unnecessary for traditional hard drives.

There is also an interview with Milagros Miceli (appearing in both documentaries) on Youtube: I also found a powerpoint presentation by the economist Uma Rani (appearing in the French documentary), AI...
