RAID IllustrationMirrored RAID 1 Explained

Data safety is the main objective in a RAID 1 "Mirror" array. In a RAID 1 "Mirror" array, data bits are written simultaneously to two identical drives. This is done for redundancy, because it provides a duplicate "mirror" copy of your data on a second drive. Two 500GB drives would form 500GB of storage space and if one drive in the array has trouble, your data is still intact and accessible on the second drive.
