Simon,
What did you do or research to arrive at a decision to use
http://www.duocor.com/xc2k/)? Perhaps I'm mistaken, but I thought RAID 1 was
disk mirroring, and should d1 fail, everything keeps on truckin' on d2 until
d1 is replace while the computer is still running, and re-mirroring is
automatic.
