RAID Array Types
A Mirrored Array (RAID 1) provides full data protection, as data can simply be copied from
a healthy disk to a replacement for any failed disk.
A Striped Array (RAID 0) is NOT fault-tolerant. The failure of one drive will result in the loss
of all data in the array. It is designed to increase disk performance by spreading the I/O load
across the channels and drives.
