Is it possible to have a RAID 1 With 1 ssd and a hdd, will it reduce ssd performance. main reason is incase either one fails.
i aint doing it i just want to know if it is possible if i have an appropriate RAID controller
SSD behaves just as a disk. RAID 1 is mirroring as you already know.
And remember... mirroring is not a replacement for making backups. You still have to make backups.
- reads are faster! It can balance the read request between SDD and HDD
- writes are slower! It must be written twice.
yes but if either one were to fail, i could remove the faulty drive and operate the good one without raid
It's be very surprised if it would work, and I'd have no faith in it's stability either. Whenever you set up an array, you should use identical disks.
