RAID stood originally for Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks and was expressed as an alternative to the SLED - Single Large Expensive Disk. The concept was to use banks of PC Disks as an alternative with the addition of a level of redundancy. General interpretation in the Storage world of 1992 is to refer to it as Redundant Array of Independent Disks. 4, record 2, English, - redundant%20array%20of%20independent%20disks

There are 20 known types of physical treatment processes ... The most common ... are sedimentation, filtration, flocculation, and solar evaporation. Physical treatments may be separated into two categories: phase separation and component separation processes ... Phase separation processes are employed to reduce waste volume and to concentrate the hazardous waste into one phase before further treatment and material recovery are performed.
