Can a RAID Level 1 drive have multiple partitions?

The utility I’ve used to do the partitioning is Disk Director from Acronis. Will that program see the RAID array just like a single drive and work normally? The Dell online manual for my computer makes it appear that setting up the RAID array will involve the loss of all the software I’ve installed on the one drive that’s currently in the box.

Can a raid system fail with mirroring Level 2?

Assume a RAID system with mirroring level 2. 1 disk failure can be handled for certain, because blocks of that disk would have duplicates on some other disk. If we are lucky enough and disks 0 and 2 fail, then again this can be handled as the blocks of these disks have duplicates on disks 1 and 3.

What’s the difference between RAID 1 and Raid 2?

With RAID 1, data is copied seamlessly and simultaneously, from one disk to another, creating a replica, or mirror. If one disk gets fried, the other can keep working. It’s the simplest way to implement fault tolerance and it’s relatively low cost. The downside is that RAID 1 causes a slight drag on performance.

What should the reliability of a RAID disk be?

1 Reliability: 1 to N/2 1 disk failure can be handled for certain, because blocks of that disk would have duplicates on… 2 Capacity: N 3 B/2 Only half the space is being used to store data. The other half is just a mirror to the already stored… More

What is the purpose of a RAID level?

This RAID level is also referred to as data mirroring. Its main function is to allow redundancy that if any of the disks in the array fails, the system will still be able to have data access from other disks. If the damaged disk has been changed, the data can be copied from the undamaged one to the replaced disk.

What happens when data gets fried in RAID 1?
