Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

I can't tell if you're being serious...
Regardless:
RAID = Redundant Array of Independent/Inexpensive Disks. Basically the use of multiple storage disks for purposes such as fault tolerance, increased uptime, and mirroring. Commonly you'll see RAID levels like RAID 1, which is mirroring, and requires at least two disks. Mirroring means that whenever data gets written to one drive in the array, it is also written to the second drive. Thus if one drive goes south (or is removed), the other one will still be available

And this link which has a great overview:

PATA = Parallel ATA - the older, now legacy hard drive interface. It has the wider 40 pin (or 80 pin) connectors. You are probably familiar with SATA, which is Serial ATA and uses serial electrical signals.

Mirroring means that whenever data gets written to one drive in the array, it is also written to the second drive. Thus if one drive goes south (or is removed), the other one will take over.

PATA is always 40 pins, but to get UDMA-66 and higher they had to introduce extra ground wires to noise proof the signals. So you get a 40pin/80conducotr cable.
