Disk mirroring
RAID 1
RAID level 1
Level 1
The actual level used is not as important as what use the server is intended for. Different levels of RAID are used for different applications. They can include mirroring and striping.
Raid 1 is mirroring.
RAID 1. Redundant Array of Independent Disks.
That is RAID 1. It uses two drives with identical data so if one fails, you have the other drive. One variation of RAID 1 used by certain controllers is to write as RAID 1 but read more like RAID 0 (but without the striping). That way, you have the write protection of a mirrored set, but can use the two drives to do interleaved reads for a read performance boost.
Mirroring is the method it is used. This is commonly in the specifications of RAID1, RAID5, RAID10, RAID1+0, RAID15, and others. RAID is commonly used to designate RAID (Redundant Array of Independant Disks) setups, but RAID is not technically recognized as a specification, and not all RAID types and enumerations (such as 15) are even recognized as valid designations. RAID may also not involve data redundancy or mirroring at all, such as in Striping (RAID0, RAID2, RAID3, RAID1+0, etc.)
RAID level 0RAID 0RAID 0 (block-level striping without parity or mirroring) has no (or zero) redundancy. It provides improved performance and additional storage but no fault tolerance. Any drive failure destroys the array, and the likelihood of failure increases with more drives in the array.
Raid 1 suppports the Mirroring if any one hard disk faild one will get the copy of the data and fault tolerent. after replacing the hard disk you have to re create the mirroring. Raid 5 supports stripped with parity the data will be deviced into blocks and stored in all the drives with the parity information. if any one or two hard disks faild the data will be available.
RAID (Redundant Array of Inexpensive Drives) is the technology developed to decrease risk involved with the usage of individual disks for Storage. RAID adds realibility & provides performance in Read methods. Well Known RAID Levels are 1. RAID0 - Striping, 2. RAID1-Mirroring, 3. RAID2 - Striping at Bit levelusing Errorcorrection code on disks, 4. RAID3 - BYTE Level striping with parity disk, 5. RAID4 -Block Level striping with Dedicatedparity disk, 6. RAID5 - Striping at Block level with Distributed Parity, 7. RAID6 - Block level striping with Dual Distributed Parity.All RAID levelsenable Fault Tolerant storage volumes except RAID0.
