I've looked a little bit into RAID and all of that, but some things are a little unclear to me
In a RAID 1 both drives contain the same exact data. So does that mean the theoretical speed should be 2x since if the computer calls for half the data from each storage device?
Also, does RAID 1 automatically come with some sort of repair system? Ex if something in HDD 1 is missing, it will be replaced by the correct or non-corrupted file from HHD 2?
And if all the above is a "yes" why don't I hear about RAID a lot more? It sounds extremely useful with no disadvantages (well, besides the bottleneck if one HDD is slower)
