Sorry for the misspelling. Anyway, striping is the process by which RAID spreads data across drives. This allows read and writes to happen faster because the amount of data that has to be read/written to each drive is less. It is essentially divide and conquer. Each drive can only read/write data so fast, so to increase performance you get a bunch of drives to work together.
