I think its called mirroring (it clones the data on 2 drives for raid 1) so you have 2 redundant copies of your data , thus increasing the odds for data recovery if 1 hdd goes that is for raid 1

What is a RAID controller and what bennefits would you receive?
RAID stands for "Redundant Array of Inexpensive/Independent Disks". RAID works by combining two or more hard drives. It can increase performance and/or data redundancy and/or capacity. There are many different RAID types, the most common being RAID 0 (stripe), RAID 1 (mirror) and RAID 5 (stripe with parity).In a RAID 0 (stripe) array, data is split equally between the number of disks in the array. For example, when a 2 MB file is written to a RAID 0 array with two hard drives, the file is split in to two parts and 1 MB of data is written to each hard drive. This increases capacity and performance, but sharply decreases redundancy since only one of the drives needs to fail for all information to be lost.Performance = Drive Speed * Number of DrivesCapacity = Drive Size * Number of DrivesRedundancy allows for no drives to fail.In a RAID 1 (mirror) array, a complete copy is written to each hard drive in the array. Capacity and performance stay the same, but redundancy is increased. As long as one drive works, you will not lose data.Performance = Drive SpeedCapacity = Drive SizeRedundancy allows for all but one drive to fail.In a RAID 5 (stripe with parity) array, you need at least three hard drives. Files are split up to all but one of the drives (similar to RAID 0) and a parity bit is written to the last drive. This increases performance, capacity and redundancy. Performance is not as good as RAID 0, but still better than RAID 1. Redundancy is not as good as RAID 1, but is still quite reliable.Performance = Drive Speed * (Number of Drives - 1) (Theoretical)Capacity = Drive Size * (Number of Drives - 1)Redundancy allows for one drive to fail.There are other RAID levels, but they are not as common.The main benefit of using a RAID array is data redundancy and/or performance.Non-commercial (home) users and enthusiasts wanting a very large increase in performance (theoretically multiples of the number of drives used) usually go for RAID 0 since they often are not too worried about drive failure and they enjoy the larger drive capacities that it provides.Small businesses who only need cheap redundancy usually go for RAID 1. If one drive fails, the drive can be replaced and the mirror array restored.Larger businesses or those needing file/database performance go for RAID 5. They can afford the price of an extra drive and a more expensive RAID controller. RAID 5 provides high performance with large capacities while still maintaining data redundancy and is the most desirable in a business or enterprise environment.There are some other options for RAID such as RAID 10 or RAID 01.RAID 10 features two separate RAID 0 arrays which are then mirrored in a RAID 1 array.RAID 01 is the opposite, with two separate RAID 1 arrays which are then striped with a RAID 0 array.There are other non-standard RAID levels, but most are rather uncommon.Alternatively, there is also drive spanning (aka JBOD), but this provides no extra redundancy or performance. Drives are "glued", if you will, end to end.The benefits of each RAID level vary. The type of RAID used depend on the job it must fulfill.

What is a fault tolerance measure known as disk striping with parity?
RAID-5 provides data redundancy by using parity. Parity is a calculated value used to reconstruct data after a failure. While data is being written to a RAID-5 volume, parity is calculated by doing an exclusive OR (XOR) procedure on the data. The resulting parity is then written to the volume.
What does raid stand for?
"Redundant Array of Independent Disks"or you can also say"Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks"RAID means you have your computers Hard drives linked to work in sync with each other,this could be used to back up data instantly or used to make your Hard drives all work as one big storage device.If you had two 500GB drives and put them in RAID you could make them act as one 1TB drive,the data would be split between the two drives.Redunant Array of Independant Disks.
Which RAID level will you implement to provide redundancy?
Type your answer here...Answer Explanation: RAID 1 uses a minimum of two hard disks to mirror data for fault tolerance. Each hard disk contains a complete copy of the data. Disk duplexing improves mirroring because each disk is on a separate controller. If one disk or controller fails in a duplexing RAID 1 array, the other disk can take over immediately to provide fault tolerance.RAID 5, also known as disk stripping with parity, provides fault tolerance by striping the data across a minimum of three and a maximum of 32 disks, and by storing parity information on each disk. This allows the RAID array to recover from a single disk failure.RAID 0, also known as disk striping, is used to increase performance by striping data over a minimum of two and a maximum of 32 disks. RAID 0 provides no fault tolerance.RAID 3, also known as disk stripping with a parity disk, provides fault tolerance by writing data across three or more drives. Because the least number of hard disks is required, RAID 1 will be used instead of RAID 3.
The most common form of RAID used on modern networks relies on what techniques?
C: disk striping with distributed parity AKA RAID 5

What are reliability indicators?
Reliability indicators are measures used to assess the consistency and stability of data or results. Common reliability indicators include test-retest reliability, internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha), inter-rater reliability, and split-half reliability. These indicators help researchers determine the trustworthiness and accuracy of their measurements.
