Software striping and mirroring on top of hardware RAID for high availability

For data protection in addition to the performance of striping, apply mirroring on top of striping. Perform the striping first and then mirror the striped volumes.

Striped volumes store large amounts of low-value or easily reproduced data where rapid access is required. Because striping alone will not maintain the availability of the data in a disk failure, consider mirroring also.
