[. . . ] By using this method, the data is stored redundantly, also the multiple hard drives willl appear as a single drive to the operating system. RAID level 0 is is known as striping, where data is striped (or overlapped) across multiple hard drives, but offers no fault-tolerance. RAID level 1 is known as mirroring, which stores the data within at least two hard drives, but does not stripe. RAID level 1 also allows for faster access time and fault-tolerance, since either hard drive can be read at the same time. [. . . ]
