The downside is that all it does is make that volume bigger. It has no capability of recovering from a failure. In fact the reliability, the data protection of RAID 0 is pretty dismal, because either of these drives can fail and you will lose your entire volume. It is a one to one capacity overhead. And we'll drill into the other RAID types and talk about why that's important. As mentioned the great risk with RAID 0 is that if you lose either of these two drives you lose your entire dataset. RAID 1 Mirroring the most commonly-encountered type of RAID. It is exactly as described, hard drive one mirrors to hard drive two, and visa versa. And as we dig into what happens when a drive fails there is…
