RAID 1 is two devices that are mirrors of each other, redundancy, with some loss in speed. Loose one device, and you still have all your data. RAID 0 is striping. One device failing means all data lost from two devices, but twice as much space as RAID 1, and some extra speed. -- Evolution as taught in public schools, like religion, is based on faith, not on science.
