Hello, last week I got my 2x320GB Seagate Barracuda drives. I stuck one inside my computer, and I put one inside a rosewill external enclosure. Basically I want my external to back up everything that's on the one I put inside, without having to drag and drop in the case that I might miss something.
So basically, if I'm correct, I should be able to set those two up in RAID 1 in the BIOS, am I right?
But here's the real question. I'm using eSATA on my external, SATA on the inside. But let's say I took out my external to use on my laptop or anything else that needed it. Could I boot up my desktop fine with just one of the drives or would I have to turn RAID1 off?
I know it's confusing, but I can explain better if needed.
Thanks.
