SAFE Mode (RAID 1/Mirroring) Safe mode is RAID 1 mode. In this state, two hard drives are closely mirrored. The actual capacity of portable hard drive equals to the smaller capacity one, storage speed is same.as a single block of hard disk. The advantage of RAID 1 lies that any piece of hard disk stored data losing, others can not lose, its weakness is the capacity loss of hard drive is bigger.
