RAID 1 is costly primarily because it requires duplicating all data across two or more drives, effectively halving the usable storage capacity. For example, if you have two 1TB drives in a RAID 1 configuration, only 1TB of usable storage is available. Additionally, the need for additional hardware, such as extra drives and potentially more advanced RAID controllers, can further elevate costs. This redundancy, while providing data protection, translates into higher overall expenses compared to other RAID levels that utilize more efficient storage methods.

Why would people utilize RAID 1 so costly?

It's true that whenever you use RAID you create an additional point of fault, but because RAID 1 (mirroring) allows identical content to be repopulated on its member drives, it provides a form of redundancy (which is what was intended [RAID = redundant array of inexpensive disks / independent disks]). However, as most people would say, RAID is not a substitute for a backup, so it's good to have a back up in case if your RAID array fails.

Which RAID level mirrors one hard drive with a second drive so that the same data is written to both drives?

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.


What are the techniques used br RAID for enhancing reliability?

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

Why use RAID?

There are at least two cases when you can benefit using one of RAID configurations. The first case is when you need to have high transfer rates: RAID 0 (gaming, video editing and so on). The second case is when you need a very stable system which can stand loose one of hard drives: RAID 1 (servers, file storage and so on).
