There was a time when the RAB seemed to be focused on conformance to RAID
levels, and Storage Computer didn't see any value to focusing on 
RAB-defined RAID levels. RAB uses two criteria to define a RAID level:
data protection and data mapping.

Storage Computer now perceives that the RAB is refocusing on functionality
and performance of RAID systems, and these are the criteria that Storage
Computer thinks should be used to evaluate RAIDs.  That's why they decided
to join the RAB.
