This isn't a cluster application. Basically it just involves different
ways to use multiple disks in a single machine. You can either configure
RAID to provide performance improvements by striping data across
multiple disk or provide reliability by writing the same data to
multiple disks. There are 2 types of RAID, hardware RAID, in which there
is specialized disk and adapter hardware that contains the smarts to
control the disks; or software RAID in which the work is done above the
hardware in the drivers using standard disks. 

Depending on which type you are pursuing, you probably get better info
finding a list that is more specific to RAID to ask questions on.
