Raid-1 "Mirrored"

• Best for archiving and backup​
• Data needs to be written to both drives simultaneously ​
• Two complete copies of all data at all times​
• Can survive a single drive failure​
• Increased read speed​

Hardware vs Software RAID in Dual Drive Environments

​Hardware - The RAID is managed by a dedicated onboard controller.​
Pros:​

• Faster​
• More reliable​
• Easier + faster to rebuild after drive failure​
• Doesn’t rely on host computer resources​
• Won’t negatively impact host computer performance​
• Easier to configure​

Cons:​

• Typically more expensive (not always)

Software - The RAID is managed by software on the host machine.​
Pros:​

• Typically less expensive (not always)​

Cons:​

• Slower​
• Less reliable​
• Relies on host computer resources​
• Can negatively impact host computer performance​
• Slower to rebuild after drive failure
