[AccessD] OT: Hard Drives, RAID, backup setup

I always thought having two mirrored drives attached to one raid controller
would have two data streams and hence the writing to the two drives would be
simultaneous. This depicts one data stream that causes the writing to have a
delay for the second drive. Is that accurate?

RAID - the movie;  see

Not quite as good/accurate/complete as it could be, though.
