It is a common technique to provide _resiliency_ and _availability_ to a set of data and protect against one of the most common data loss scenarios: the failure of a disk.
RAID is a common technique to provide _resiliency_ and _availability_ to a set of data and protect against one of the most common data loss scenarios: the failure of a disk.
The simplest type of RAID is a 'mirror', which does just what it sounds like: keeps two (or more) copies of data on two (or more) different disks. If one disk fails, the second copy is still available and no data loss has occurred. You would usually see this for system disks in uptime-critical servers.
