Dear Paul et al, Promis tech makes a drive controller that lets you do just this. It's a bit pricey (about 180). It sets up two drives to mirror. Both drives get the same info at the same time. If one drive fails you just pull it out a boot with the second. Look at it and other variations at www.promis.com.
