lol, im just gutted as like 5days ago, i was thinking about buying two 1TB drives and raid1'ing them, now wish i bloody well had!

how so?
it means there is duplicated data on both disks, a mirror image, if one fails the other has the copy... whats wrong with that?

ok agreed, but then robo copy would also overwrite the 2nd copy with the bad copy unless it was spotted before it ran, and obviously i cant check everyfile every second to make sure that its not corrupt.
