Easier to recover. Data loss is not so drastic if you have your data spread out.

Either way there are many configs of RAID. RAID 1 is more ideal compared to RAID 0.

there is no real "ideal" RAID level, it depends on what is your storage performance requirements, which are: read performance, write performance, availability level, and recoverability window.

Can config as either RAID 0 or 1.

RAID 0 is for read performance, RAID 1 is for protection.
