What happens if you get hacked because a security problem is slow to get |
| 9 |
patched? With raid 1 both drives get hacked, but if you manually mirror |
| 10 |
the second drive on changes if you get hacked you would be able to swap |
| 11 |
them, update the problem, then mirror the fixed system to the previously |
| 12 |
hacked version, saving you the time of recompiling and tuning the system. |
