RAID1

Data is stored into two hard disks, a data disk and a mirrored disk, in the same way.

Number of hard disks required: 2 (fixed)

Advantage:

100% data redundancy is ensured. Even if one of the two hard disks fails, it will be switched to the other hard
disk to continue read/write operation.

Disadvantages:

The hard disk capacity required doubles, because a mirrored disk with the same capacity is required.
A read/write operation during data rebuilding will result in lower performance.
