11. RAID 1 array system The mirrored backup copy of the data can reside on the same disk or on a second redundant drive in the array RAID 1 provides a hot standby copy of data if the active volume or drive is corrupted or becomes unavailable because of a hardware failure RAID techniques can be applied for high availability solutions or as a form of automatic backup that eliminates tedious manual backups to more expensive and less reliable media Features and Benefits Drives Minimum 2 and maximum is 2 Uses RAID 1 is ideal for small databases or any other application that requires fault tolerance and minimal capacity Benefits Provides 100 data redundancy Should one drive fail the controller switches to the other drive Drawbacks Requires 2 drives for the storage space of one drive Performance is impaired during drive rebuilds Fault Tolerance Yes 27 Motherboard Manual RAID 10 RAID 1 drives can be stripped using RAID 0 techniques Resulting in a RAID 10 solution for improved resiliency performance and rebuild performance Features and Benefits 28 Drives Minimum 4 and maximum is 6 or 8 depending on the platform Benefits Optimizes for both fault tolerance and performance allowing for automatic redundancy May be simultaneously used with other RAID levels in an array and allows for spare disks Drawbacks Requires twice the available disk space for data redundancy the same as RAID level 1
