But what if you get a virus? What if you delete something you wish you hadn't? Sorry, too bad, the changes get written to the second drive immediately. RAID 1 will help you in the event of disc failure and nothing else. It is not a backup. You'd be much better advised to use the second disc in an external backup before considering RAID 1. -- Mark Lanctot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34845 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
