Using Manual Conguration: RAID 1
In RAID 1, the RAID controller 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. It is appropriate for small databases or any other
environment that requires fault tolerance but small capacity.
