Is it software or hardware RAID 1? Hardware RAID 1 is easy, at least for a |
| 24 |
motherboard I used that had a Silicon Image chipset. I just told it to |
| 25 |
build a RAID 1 mirror with the two disks, it created an exact copy then and |
| 26 |
there of the original. From then on in wrote to the 2nd drive whenever it |
| 27 |
wrote to the 1st one. |
