9 You could set up a RAID-1 array on the two devices. Auto-detect RAID
10 information is saved at the end of the device, so it can still be used as
11 a standalone drive/partition when connected to something else. One
12 advantage of RAID is that if you run with the device disconnected and
13 then connect it, the RAID will be updated in the background.

16 catches fire :(
