RAID controller
A RAID controller is a device that manages multiple hard drives or solid-state drives (SSDs) in a RAID array. A RAID array is a group of hard drives or SSDs that are combined to create a single logical drive. The RAID controller is responsible for managing the data on the array and ensuring that the data is stored and accessed efficiently.
