raid

Redundant Array of Independant (or Inexpensive) Disks.

There are several configurations of RAID.

Raid 0 = stripping with no redundancy
Raid 1 = mirror
Raid 5 = stripping across many drives with redundancy

There are many other configurations as well

Our new Dell server came with a RAID system.

Raid

1. When the police try to shut down an illegal business that is currently in the guise of a legal business. The raid is when they finally come in to search for evidence.

2. Performing such an action.

3. To rummage through something, with the intent to find a specific item.

4. Insect poison.

5. The act of spraying such a poison.

1. There may be a raid tonight.

2. Did you hear that the cops raided Ol' Sam-O's on 35th Street?

3. The racoons raided my garbage again!

4. I sprayed some Raid on that anthill.

5. Did you Raid the wasps' nest yet?

raid

A raid is when a bunch of people who play a game too much, get together to play the game some more. Because they have to work together to kill the biggest bosses.

A: What's going on, is like the whole world noobified, like the exact same time?
B: It's my guild, we are doing a raid.

Rabies + AIDS = RAIDS

I'm not that clever, I hope I get RAIDS and die.

raid

when you are changing for soccer and a teacher comes and sprays you with febreeze over and over, or pelts wet paper towels at you. It is somewhat like rape

Are you going to raid us today?

Raids

Getting AIDS from a gentleman caller named Randy

1) Ah shit Randy gave me raids again.

2) I think that handle bar mustache has a little raids juice dripping from it.

3) I think I picked up a case of RAIDS at the pitchfork festival
