I think independent is better but inexpensive is the definition.

It is officially either:
"Short for Redundant Array of Independent (or Inexpensive) Disks, a category of disk drives that employ two or more drives in combination for fault tolerance and performance. RAID disk drives are used frequently on servers but aren't generally necessary for personal computers." -www.webopedia.com |

How about you guys putting together your list of "Computer Acronyms", turn it into a book and sell on PCMECH. I bet it beats out Hillary Clintons book that comes out on monday. LMAO!
It will probably be on the New York times best selling list heheh.

hey fellows, maybe I'm showing my age, but when I was taking electronics, CMOS was short for carbon metal oxide semiconductor. When and where it was changed to complementary instead of carbon I don't know. Of course my info is in excess of 3 decades old!
