4 Bay SATA to eSATA 3.5” HDD RAID Storage System RSV-S4-X User Manual 2.3.2 DISK MIRRORING (RAID 1) Disk mirroring creates an identical twin for a selected disk by having the data simultaneously written to two disks. This redundancy provides instantaneous protection from a single disk failure. If a read failure occurs on one drive, the system reads the data from the other drive. RAID 1 sets are comprised of two drives, and a third drive can
