continue to operate even if the primary drive’s controller stops working. This

super-drive mirroring technique is called disk duplexing (see Figure 8-18).

Disk duplexing is also marginally faster than disk mirroring because one

controller does not write each piece of data twice.

Figure 8-18 Duplexing drives

Even though duplexing is faster than mirroring, they both are slower than

the classic one-drive, one-controller setup. You can use multiple drives to

increase your hard drive access speed. Disk striping (without parity) means

spreading the data among multiple (at least two) drives. Disk striping by itself

provides no redundancy. If you save a small Microsoft Word file, for

example, the file is split into multiple pieces; half of the pieces go on one

drive and half on the other (see Figure 8-19).
