Abstract:
Methods, apparatus, and products are disclosed for implementing a redundant array of inexpensive drives (‘RAID’) with an external RAID controller and hard disk drives from separate computers, including configuring by the external RAID controller a RAID array, the RAID array comprising hard disk drives from the separate computers, the external RAID controller comprising a hardware RAID controller installed externally with respect to the separate computers, and storing, by one or more of the separate computers through the external RAID controller, computer data on the RAID array.
