Raid 1 doesn't offer any performance benefits though but you could go with Raid 0+1 (or 10) but i believe read performance is still better in a Raid 5 configuration while write performance is lower.

In the age of really fast SSDs Raid 1 might be the better choice though, unless you really need a huge amount of fast storage.



RAID 1 does have read performance benefits; you can read from both disks in parallel. Write time is max(disk0, disk1).


oh really ? i thought to have read benefits youd go RAID 10 and thats the main reason it exists in the first place, but seems like you are right but it depends on the RAID controller and drivers.
