RAID 1 or Mirrored RAID uses two or more disks that store the same data.

RAID Level 1 or mirrored RAID uses two or more disks that store the same data. One disk is mirrored to the other. Write speeds are the same as using one disk, and read speeds are twice as much.

RAID 1 is used when reliability needs to be higher than normal.
