Striping with parity, 3+ disks. Data is striped two disks and then a parity is stored on a third disk. This parity bit will restore data on either disk should a disk fail.

Mirroring or Duplexing, 2+ disks. Data is written to one disk and then mirrored or duplexed to another disk. If a single dirve fails the mirror takes over until another hard drive is installed.

Striping, 2+ disks. Data is written to both disks at once. This increases speed but there is no fault tolerance. If one drive fails, the entire RAID is useless.

This is a disk system by which overall disk speed and/or fault tolerance is improved.
