Match the RAID level to the number of drive failures an array can handle without losing data. (Each option may be used once, more than once, or not at all.)
RAID 1: This is a level of RAID that uses mirroring to create an exact copy of data on two or more disks. It can tolerate the failure of any single drive without losing data, as long as the other drive is still functional.
RAID 1 ADM: This is a level of RAID that uses advanced data mirroring to create two copies of data on three disks. It can tolerate the failure of any two drives without losing data, as long as the third drive is still functional.
RAID 5: This is a level of RAID that uses striping with parity to distribute data and parity information across three or more disks. It can tolerate the failure of any single drive without losing data, as long as the other drives can reconstruct the data from the parity information.
RAID 6: This is a level of RAID that uses striping with double parity to distribute data and two sets of parity information across four or more disks. It can tolerate the failure of any two drives without losing data, as long as the other drives can reconstruct the data from the double parity information.
