like I said in my previous post 2 1tb drives in raid is only 20€ more expensive than two 500gb drives even if you don't need the space now it may delay the need of upgrading your drives in the futureOriginality said:If you have a single drive, you can't mirror it. Even if you divide it into 2 partitions and have one set to mirror the first, that does nothing to protect your data from a hardware failure, which is the entire point of mirror raid.
Besides, 500GB is plenty. It's enough to hold Windows, my entire music collection, a few games, several movies and still have space left over for downloading. By the time you fill it up, you'll probably have saved enough to add 1TB or more to it.
