ATA DATA DATA DATA DATA DATA mr Reads can occur simultaneously on every drive RAID 1 also known as disk mirroring is simply a pair of disk drives that store duplicate data but appear to the computer as a single drive Although striping is not used within a single mirrored drive pair multiple RAID 1 arrays can be striped together to create a single large array consisting of pairs of mirrored drives All writes must go to both drives of a mirrored pair so that the information on the drives is kept identical However each individual drive can perform simultaneous independent read operations Mirroring thus doubles the read performance of a single non mirrored drive and while the write performance is unchanged RAID 1 delivers the best performance of any redundant array type In addition there is less performance degradation during drive failure than in RAID 5 arrays Duplicate data is written to pairs of drives DATA DATA DATA DATA DATA DATA p Reads can occur simultaneously on every drive User Manual Ira SAS to SAS SATA II RAID Subsystem RAID 3 sector stripes data across groups of drives but one drive in the group is dedicated for storing parity information RAID 3 relies on the embedded ECC in each sector for error detection In the case of drive failure data recovery is accomplished by calculating the exclusive OR XOR of the information recorded on the remaining drives Records typically span
