Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What is a RAID 1 drive?
“RAID 1” means the “Redundant Array of Inexpensive (or Independent) Disks” set up in a Level 1 or mirrored drive set. A RAID 1 volume is a series of disk drives that are designed to write data to 2 volumes simultaneously.
Q2. Where is RAID 1 used?
RAID-1 is suitable for mission-critical storage, for example for accounting systems. It is also suitable for small servers that would only use two data drives.
