RAID 1 (Mirroring) for Digital Photography
I am often asked about the best types of storage a digital photographer should use, especially if they should use RAID storage. In this series of articles, I hope to explain some uses for each of the most popular RAID types, especially in the context of digital photography.
RAID (Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks) is the use of 2 or more disks to achieve greater reliability, greater performance or greater capacity.
In this article, I will be describing RAID level 1, or Mirroring. Looking at the above definition, RAID level 1 provides greater reliability, but neither greater performance or capacity. I have previously covered RAID 0 Striping in a previous article.
