** RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) Level 1 Details

RAID 1, also known as disk mirroring, protects against disk failure by keeping two copies of data stored on separate disks or arrays. Though relatively simple to implement, installing two sets of disks effectively doubles the investment required for a single, non-redundant drive. If at any time either disk fails, the remaining disk can provide all of the data needed, preventing downtime. Two copies of the data also ensure that there is no degradation in performance, as accesses are immediately routed to the working disk. In the event of failure, copying from the operational disk to the replacement disk is very fast, which reduces the risk of a second failure.

RAID 1 not only provides protection, it can also improve performance. For example, if multiple requests for the same data are made, demand can be distributed between two disk copies therefore decreasing response time for data access.

In summary: RAID 1 is the most secure of any of the RAID levels and is exceptionally fault-tolerant. Examples of industries that would use this RAID level include those who cannot afford downtime, such as banks, insurance companies, stock markets and airline systems.
