I'm not even sure mirroring an SSD with a conventional hard drive is even possible, I'd ask in the hard drive forum.

it will sync a copy of whatever data you ask it to but it will not be able to make a ghost of a drive. its just a simple back up utility.

Thanks, is there anysoftware which will ghost drives? or do microsoft not want people ghosting their os?
