FAT (FAT16 and FAT32) and NTFS are two methods for storing data on a hard drive. The hard drive has to either beformatted using one or the other, or can be converted from one to the other (usually FAT to NTFS) using a system tool
NTFS is a high-performance and self-healing file system proprietary to Windows XP 2000 NT, which supports file-levelsecurity, compression and auditing. It also supports large volumes and powerful storage solution such as RAID. The most important new feature of NTFS is the ability to encrypt files and folders to protect your sensitive data

Redundant Array of Independant DisksRAID refers to a hard disk technology which can be used to speed up data transferand/or provide disk redundancy through disk system fault tolerance.
RAID provides these features by utilising more than one hard disk at a time, there are several variations of a RAIDconfiguration referred to as levels.
Each of these levels provide different performance and/or fault tolerance benefits.
RAID configurations are commonly found in data critical applications.

RAID means Redundant Array Of Independent Disk. This is a technique in which we can concatenate more than one disktogether in a number of ways that can give us many types of storage options. We can also decide which type of storagefeature is desired by choosing between the raid level. There are many Types of Raid levels
1)Linear Raid-Disks are appended linearly. If the space in the first disk get over than the data is written in the second disk
2)Raid 0(Striping)-In this type of raid the a file to be stored is broken down into chunks and each chunk is Placed overindependent disk. This type of raids provides parallelism. i.e. Fast Read and write operations are performed. But theavailabilty of each file is dependent on all the disk. If any one of the disk gets crashed or currupted than the entire data isLost

FAT32 (FILE allocation table)
It supports maximum 2TB.
Data compression is not possible.
Cant create DNS
Data recovery is difficult.
NTFS (New Technology File System)
It supports 16TB.
Data compression possible

You said that FAT32 does not provide the file level security that an NTFS drive would give to its files, to ensure theirsecurity. And our OS installations are mostly done in the drive which is a FAT32 type drive and it is quite known that thesefiles of the OS are VERY important and that anything done to these files can result in something bad. So inspite of thislimitation why do people generally install the OS in a FAT32 drive?

FAT:------
* FAT means File Allocation Table.* This type of file system to storing data in original form.* So, no security.

This technology used by hard disk which store mirror image of your current hard disk who is running, because in serversevral task perfoms simultansly if your hard disk fails or crash then what about your data it losses. so for preventing of lossof data we use RAID external hard disk which have SCSI (Small Computer System Interface)and add with servers it will be1,2,3,4,5 or RAID 6. means always it takes backup of your hard disk and when it crash or fail the raid hard disk supportyour system with full data who was your on dead hard disk and result is your system nevers go down

RAID stands for REDUNDANT ARRAY of INDEPENDENT DRIVES. Under the raid system a group of hard drives areaddressed as one storage unit. The data is redundantly (backup copies) stored in such a way that it is possible to recover allof the data even with the total failure of as many as two of the drives in the RAID. RAIDs are used where extremely largeamounts of storage capacity and high reliability is required. Today most pre-recorded television programs are recorded andplayed back from RAID file servers.
