Mirror or Raid1?

Hello all :slight_smile:

i go receive an old pc, not so old, and i already have the 2 wd 4to hardrives and a 250go ssd for.

I watched at a video for it and the youtuber done the pool with two disks in pool but as i know raid1 is preferable ?

Thx a lot !

Raid-Z1 needs three drives. Your only choice is a mirror pair if you only have two drives and want some redundancy.

OK thx a lot.

Have a good d’Ay ^^

Note that your title asks about “Raid1,” while Barky’s answer mentions “Raid-Z1.” The Z is critical. RAID1 in conventional RAID nomenclature is a mirror; RAIDZ1 is comparable to RAID5 in traditional RAID levels.

Okok i understand. Due to m’y lessons of network, i thought raid1 was possible but so let’s go to mirror.

RAID1 and mirror are the same. RAIDZ1 is something different.

OK thanx in fact i thought raid1 was possible.

Thx a lot.

RAID1 is possible. It’s a mirror. How many more times do you need to read this?

It’s a language barrier thing I think. Their using translate or something.

OK sorry. Thx
