>"Independent" not "Inexpensive" ;)

Actually, it looks like you both are right going to:

http://www.whatis.com/ and searching for "Raid" gives this first paragraph:

RAID (redundant array of independent disks; originally redundant array of 
inexpensive disks) is a way of storing the same data in different places 
(thus, redundantly) on multiple hard disks. By placing data on multiple 
disks, I/O operations can overlap in a balanced way, improving performance. 
Since multiple disks increases the mean time between failure (MTBF), 
storing data redundantly also increases fault-tolerance.
