OK, it sounds like you need: * an SATA adapter with RAID support and firmware/hardware * a hard drive about the size of your current one, or two of the same size I've never tried to set up a mirrored RAID by adding the RAID and another drive to an existing setup. I'd think one of the options in setting up the RAID controller would be "mirror my current drive to the new one". Or you could get two drives, keep what you have where you have it, and add the new RAID as extra capacity. -- Thanks, DougF (KG4LMZ) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
