Chapter 5: Disk Array Concepts 

 

 

51 

Striping / Mirror (RAID 0+1) 

A combination of RAID 0 and RAID 1 arrays. It can increase performance by 
reading and writing data in parallel while protecting data with duplication. A 
minimum of four drives are required.  

With a four-drive disk array, two pairs of drives are striped. Each pair mirrors the 
data on the other pair of striped drives. The data capacity is similar to a standard 
Mirroring array with half of total capacity dedicated for redundancy.
