RAID1 (Mirroring):

A RAID1 array mirrors data written to the two hard drives equally. The

capacity of the array is equal to the smallest capacity drive in the array.

Storage speed is same as a single drive. The advantage of RAID1 is that if any

hard drive fails the other drive will still carry all data written to the drives. Its

deficit is that the maximum capacity of the array is equal to the smallest drive

in the array..

Note: For very important material, such as databases or personal data, this is

an absolutely safe storage solution.
