Not only RAID 1 isn't a back up solution, because it offers temporary redundancy rather than diverse protection, but under certain scenarios you have a much higher chance of losing your data when the first drive fails. If you bought two (or more) drives at the same time and built a RAID from them, their failure performance due to same construction and age could be quite similar. On many occasions your last healthy drive fails, just as you try to rebuild the RAID. -- Regards, Mick
