raid 0 breaks up data and stores it seperately onto two hdds (therefore each drive only does half the work)
raid 1 copies the same data onto two drives (this makes a constant backup since data is stored in two places)

for the future....questions like "what is" are answered faster by google

That or searching through these forums. That question has been answered before. Raid 0 is striping, Raid 1 is mirroring.

RAID 2,3, and 4 have been around for a *long* time already (they're all variants on Parity RAID, which stores XOR parity data in order to provide data reliability). However, they've generally been superceded by RAID5 (Distributed Striped Parity RAID), as it is faster than 2,3, or 4 in most situations, and offers similar reliability.
