them automatically monitor their own health and report on possible problems. Not all disk
drives have SMART support.

also RAID.

SSL certificate
Secure Socket Layer certificate, part of the SSL encryption method. SSL (also known as
Transport Layer Security) is a type of encryption used to protect data being sent over a
network or the Internet. SSL uses a system of keys, like secret passwords, to send and
receive files securely.
stripe
Also known as RAID 0. A volume with striping includes two or more disk drives where data is
distributed evenly (striped) across the disk drives in equal-sized sections. A striped volume
does not maintain redundant data, and so offers no data protection.
However, compared to an equal-sized group of independent disks, a striped volume provides
faster performance.
