RAID 1 is an industry-standard data protection consisting of two drives containing exact copies, or mirrors, of the data. There is no parity required because both RAID members have full copies of the data, allowing the system to retrieve data from either disk. Dell PowerMax implements RAID 1 (1 + 1) mirroring the data across two drives.
