The RAID 1 means that two HDD become an exact copy of each other, and so data transferred to HDD 1 is simultaneously mirrored to the HDD 2. It creates a safe-guard net for your data, as if HDD 1 fails, none of your data is lost as it is securely backed up on HDD 2. The RAID 5/6/10 work on similar concept but are more suited for multiple HDD configuration. Intelliversioning technology keeps the most important file versions to better utilize storage space.
