Spell out RAID - Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks. Bingo.
That's "Independent Disks". It's the independence of each spindle that is valued, not the cost proposition. If one spindle goes, it's not all of your data which goes with it. Consider that many (most?) SCSI disks aren't inexpensive.
The original meaning of the acronym was "Inexpensive," IIRC. It was later changed to allow either meaning of the word. I just checked; it is "inexpensive" in both of my CS architecture textbooks.
A nit, I know, but I don't want Adthrawn to get a complex :-)
