Hi,
I have got some questions about RAID1 and RAID5 hardware solutions. For example, I implemented RAID1 as disk mirroring in Windows Server 2003. How do I test this disk mirroring in action in the real world? Does it mean if one hard drive has failed, the system will continue to operate on the mirrored drive? Or when one hard drive has failed, the system will fail but one can reboot the system to the mirrored drive?
Similarly, if I implement a RAID5 using 3 disks, what does it really do? Does it support failover, data redundancy or both? How does RAID5 achieve it?
