According to the ad-
justed stripe size (e.g.,
16 KB) and the number
of hard disks, the data
blocks are split into
stripes. Each stripe is
stored on a separate
hard disk. Especially
with sequential read
and write operations,
we can observe a sig-
nificant improvement of
the data throughput.
RAID 0 includes no redundancy at all, i.e., when one hard disk fails, all data is lost.

All data is stored twice on two identical hard disks. When one hard disk fails, all data are
immediately available on the other without any impact on the performance and data integ-
rity.
We talk about "Disk Mir-
roring" when two hard
disks are mirrored on one
SCSI channel. If each
hard disk is connected
with a separate SCSI
channel, this is called
"Disk Duplexing"
(additional security).
RAID 1 represents an easy
and highly efficient solu-
tion for data security and
system availability. It is
especially suitable for installations which are not too large (the capacity available is only
half of the installed capacity).
