Why Raid 1 don't improve read performance like Raid 0?

0

It should be able to read the data across the 2 disks like with Raid 0 right?

but when I look at benchmark it looks like only one drive is used to read the data.

If both disks have the same information why do you want to read the 2 disks? – CaldeiraG – 2019-08-08T07:56:00.743

@CaldeiraG to get faster read speed. read half the data on each disk at the same time like in raid 0 – Fractale – 2019-08-08T08:08:21.150

Depends on the raid chip hardware and driver if it will support reading from both drives or not. – Moab – 2019-08-08T12:24:23.463

@Moab why the driver will not do that if it can be 2 times faster? – Fractale – 2019-08-27T01:30:31.713
