If you have, for example two 1tb hard discs in your drive bays, you can use the 2 tb as is, or you can set up a "raid array".
This means that you have 1tb of memory to use, but the other disk simply mimics the first disk.
If one disk goes bust, the second disk takes over.
You get a message from the array software.
You buy another disk, slot it in, and the system sorts it all out.
It's like an automatic back up, you just run it and forget about it.
It's gone a bit out of favour nowadays with cloud storage, but I prefer to keep all my data in house.
