RAID arrays can be intimidating, but they're a nice way to aggregate storage into one pool. Depending on how you configure them, you can create just a bigger volume, or something that has some redundancy in it - for better data protection in case a mechanism fails.

I think Wikipedia has a nice description of the various types of RAID.
