The major disadvantage of RAID 1 is that it requires half the storage space to be sacrificed because it is mirroring the drives. For example, if a RAID 1 setup consisted of two 1 TB drives, the user would only have 1 TB of storage despite having the hardware for 2 TB.

What raid uses least number of hard disk?

There are three types of RAID RAID 0 (Stripping without parity) The records are distributed among all the available HDDs. The number of the HDDs may vary from one system to the other RAID 1 (Mirroring) This uses double number of HDDs. One stores the records while an equal number of HDDs forms the backup. RAID 5 (Stripping with parity) This type of raid distributes the records in n-1 disks while maintaining 1 disk as the parity disk. assuming 4 HDDs are required RAID 0 uses all the four RAID 1 uses double RAID 5 uses 4 + 1
