Disk mirroring's data protection advantages While both RAID levels use the same number of drives, they are not synonymous. RAID 0+1 creates two stripe sets and then mirrors them. RAID 1+0 mirrors two drives together and then creates a striped set with the pair. While RAID 1+0 is similar to RAID 0+1, the reversed order of the numbers indicates the two RAID levels are layered in the opposite order. The two-number format of RAID 10/1+0 is known as a nested RAID configuration because it combines two RAID levels to enhance performance. That 100% storage capacity overhead may be overkill for small businesses and consumer use. However, the four-disk minimum requirement makes RAID 10 a costly choice for smaller computing environments. The high performance of RAID 10, and its ability to speed up both write and read activities, makes it suited to frequently used, mission-critical database servers. It's also good for organizations that require little to no downtime. It is the a good option for I/O-intensive applications - including email, web servers, databases and operations that require high disk performance. RAID 10 provides data redundancy and improves performance. That way multiple read/write heads on the drives can write or access portions of data simultaneously, thus speeding up overall processing. It does that by spreading the data out across two or more drives. RAID 0 doesn't provide any data protection its sole purpose is to enhance drive access performance.

#The raid 1 full
Because it makes a full duplicate of the data, RAID 1 requires twice as much storage capacity as the original data. Data is fully protected as the mirror copy is available if the originating drive is disabled or unavailable. A RAID 1 configuration copies data from one drive to another, mirroring and duplicating data to provide improved fault tolerance and data protection. RAID, which stands for redundant array of independent disks, comes in several different configurations. If two disks in the same mirrored pair fail, all data will be lost because there is no parity in the striped sets. As long as one disk in each mirrored pair is functional, data can be retrieved. It requires a minimum of four disks and stripes data across mirrored pairs.

RAID 10, also known as RAID 1+0, is a RAID configuration that combines disk mirroring and disk striping to protect data.
