RAID 1
This level is called "mirroring" as it copies data onto two disk drives simultaneously.
Although there is no enhancement in access speeds, the automatic duplication of the data means there is little likelihood of data loss or system downtime.
RAID 1 provides failure tolerance. If one disk fails the other automatically takes over and continuous operation is maintained.
There is no storage cost performance improvement as duplicating all data means only half the total disk capacity is able for storage.
