Partition — A logical division on a hard drive that the operating system treats as a 
separate hard drive. Each partition is assigned a unique drive letter.
Port (Hardware) — A specialized outlet on a device for connecting to other devices 
using a cable or a plug. Ethernet ports, power ports, and USB ports are examples.
Protocol — A convention of data transmission that defines timing, control format, 
and data representation.
RAID — Redundant Array of Independent Disks. A grouping of hard drives in a single 
system to provide greater performance and data integrity.
RAID 0 — RAID protocol in which data is striped across multiple hard drives, 
enabling the accelerated reading and recording of data by combining the work of two 
or more drives to increase performance. See also Striping.
RAID 1 — RAID protocol in which two copies of the data are instantaneously 
recorded — each on separate hard drives. RAID 1 ensures the protection of users' 
data because in the event that one of the hard drives fails, the other hard drive(s) 
continue to read and write data until the faulty hard drive is replaced and rebuilt to 
once again safely mirror the data. See also Mirroring.
RAM — Random Access Memory. Memory that allows any storage location to be 
accessed randomly, as opposed to sequential access devices such as tape drives.
ROM — Read-Only Memory. An integrated circuit memory chip containing programs 
and data that the computer or host can read but cannot modify. A computer can read 
instructions from ROM but cannot store data in ROM.
Share — A folder that can be used to organize and store files on your My Book 
World Edition. Shares can be shared with everyone (public) or with selected users on 
your network (private).
SMB — Server Message Block. File-sharing protocol for Windows platform that 
allows users to access shares through My Network Places. Mac OS X or later also 
supports the CIFS protocol. See also Protocol.
SMTP — Simple Mail Transfer Protocol. Standard for transferring e-mail across the 
Internet. See also Protocol.
Spanned — Combines drives in a linear fashion to create one large logical volume. A 
spanned drive is like a single, bigger drive, in that files written to the volume earlier go 
to the “beginning” of the volume, on the first physical drive. If one of the drives fails, all 
data is lost. 
SSH — Secure Shell. A network protocol that uses encryption and authentication 
keys to enable two devices on the network to exchange data securely. See also 
Protocol
.
SSL — Secure Socket Layer. A protocol that provides authentication and encryption 
services between a web server and a web browser. See also Protocol.
Streaming Media — Media such as audio, video, and photos that are constantly 
received while being delivered by a streaming provider.
