RAID 1:
Every read and write is actually carried out in parallel across 2 disk drives in a
RAID 1 array system. 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.
RAID techniques can be applied for high-availability solutions, or as a form of
automatic backup that eliminates tedious manual backups to more expensive and
less reliable media.

controller switches to the other drive.
