In most redundant array of independent disks (RAID) configurations, data is stored across different disks. Which method of storing data is described?

Crypto-shredding is a data destruction technique that involves encrypting data and then deleting the encryption keys, making the data irrecoverable. This method does not pertain to data storage in RAID configurations but rather focuses on secure data disposal, which is unrelated to the distribution or performance improvements offered by striping.

Archiving refers to the process of moving data that is no longer actively used to a separate storage system for long-term retention. While this can involve using RAID for storing archived data, it does not describe the method of distributing data across multiple disks as striping does.

Mapping generally refers to the process of associating data with a specific location or structure in a storage system but does not accurately describe the physical distribution of data in RAID configurations. Therefore, it lacks the context of performance enhancement found in striping.
