The mirrored (backup) copy of the data can reside on the same disk or on a second redundant drive in the array. RAID 1 provides a hot-standby copy of data if the active volume or drive is corrupted or becomes unavailable because of a hardware failure.
- Page 21 A960G+/A960GL+ RAID 10: RAID 1 drives can be stripped using RAID 0 techniques. Resulting in a RAID 10 solution for improved resiliency, performance and rebuild performance. Features and Benefits Drives: Minimum 4, and maximum is 6 or 8, depending on the platform.
