Uh, yes, but a Yugo was a cheap, basic, lowest-bidder version of an automobile (although I can't imagine that they could possibly be any worse than the ever-popular Citroen 2CV), whereas full mirroring, though simple and basic, is the most extravagant form of RAID, such that failure of the whole array requires not only the failure of at least two drives, but of two drives in the same mirrored pair.
