Hardware RAID is a form of RAID (redundant array of independent disks) where processing is done on the motherboard or a separate RAID card. With hardware RAID, logical disks are configured and mirrored outside of the storage system. A physical RAID controller manages the array, presenting data to applications and operating systems as logical units. The controller resides on a Peripheral Component Interconnect Express bus.

Hyperconverged storage uses software defined methodologies to virtualize data storage alongside compute and networking functions in a single system. Through virtualization, hyperconverged storage makes far more flexible pools of storage available compared to storage tethered to a specific piece of hardware, such as a networked attached storage device or disk/flash array. Decoupling the hardware from the software and storage lets hyperconverged storage scale readily and provide greater flexibility and functionality.

Modern enterprise HDDs are designed for operating temperatures between 5 and 60 degrees C. Manufacturers recommend that they should not be operated at the upper end of this range on a permanent basis because doing so will reduce the lifetime of the drives and pose a risk of higher failure rates. So what happens to HDDs at high temperatures? And can these effects be compensated for later by operating at lower temperatures?

Scale out storage is an architectural term used for the expansion of network attached storage (NAS)-every time you add a physical NAS device to the network, you are 'scaling out' storage capacity. It's important to distinguish between incrementing cloud storage and incrementing physical storage on your own network. Scale out storage specifically refers to the latter.
