Two disks RAID 1 and four disks RAID 5.

Explanation:

The RAID level stands for Redundancy array of independent disk drive level. It is a process whereby disk storage like hard disk drive or solid state disk are connected in array to function in parallel to each other, to promote performance and reliability. The categories of raid level are 0, 1, 3, 5, 10 etc.

The RAID level 1 writes data on both main disk and mirror disk. It is more efficient with only two disk. The RAID 5 strips data across disk array and stores a parity check on them. It can hold 16 disks efficient and can be used in the two channel RAID to hold the remaining four disks.
