I'm sorry, but you are wrong.
I'm old enough to remember when the concept was first proposed.
In the original paper from Berkeley, where the concept was developed,
it is Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks.
Patterson, Gibson and Katz, A Case for Redundant Arrays of Inexpensive Disks
(RAID). SIGMOD Conference 1988: 109-116

I remember one gig disk drives being brought in on rollers by the 'heavy
gang',
so the concept of using lots of little SCSI disks was quite interesting at
the time.
