RAID Levels

RAID 1

In RAID 1, RAID Controller Kit-G duplicates all data from one drive to a second drive.
RAID 1 provides complete data redundancy, but at the cost of doubling the required
data storage capacity.

Uses

Use RAID 1 for small databases or any other environment that

requires fault tolerance but small capacity.

Strong Points

RAID 1 provides complete data redundancy. RAID 1 is ideal for any
application that requires fault tolerance and minimal capacity.

Weak Points

RAID 1 requires twice as many disk drives. Performance is impaired
during drive rebuilds.

Drives

Two.
