Hi,

Anybody know which NAS drive i can get that will have 2x1tb HD's or space for 2 and that will let me run it raid mirror so it will automatically mirror on HD2 what is copied to HD1 , all enclosed in a single NAS?

Drobo does Raid 1, I'm sure. They aren't cheap, though.

Most 2+ bay NAS's will let you have 2x1tb even 2x2tb with the cost of 2tb drives coming down and run in Raid 1 which will mirror the info on each drive.

Have a look at the Synology boxes as pretty solid performers for the cost such as

Synology DS211j

Personally run the DS411j and for the cost and features it has its good for the money.

Another vote for the Synology products. There are hundreds of great reviews out there for the latest products. 211j is a good budget option as suggested. I have the DS211 myself. They are brilliant.

I've just this second ordered a 211j.
Going to be putting a couple of 2TB drives in and using RAID 1.

Using it to backup my machine, the wifes and our laptop.
Also as an iTunes server.

£300 or there abouts for the unit and the HD's.
