ADAC Ultra2 S466 Hardware Guide

RAID 1

In RAID 1, ADAC Ultra2 S466 duplicates all data from

one drive to a second drive. RAID 1 provides complete

data redundancy, but at the cost of doubling the required

data storage capacity.

Uses

Use RAID 1 for small databases or any other environment

that requires fault tolerance but small capacity.

Strong Points

RAID 1 provides complete data redundancy. RAID 1 is

ideal for any application that requires fault tolerance and

minimal capacity.

Weak Points

RAID 1 requires twice as many disk drives. Performance is

impaired during drive rebuilds.

Drives

2, 4, 6, or 8 drives.
