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.

RAID 1+0 redundancy and data-loss recovery capability against RAID 1

I have a HP ProLiant server with two SCSI drives. I wanted to set up a RAID 1 array but the RAID configurator only allowed me a RAID 0 or a RAID 1+0 array. When either of my drive fails can I recover the data upon RAID 1+0 configuration?
