I have a few questions about the Mirror function within Windows 7.

The content being stored is TV series & HD movies, if that matters.

What I have is 2 TB WD Green drives that I already placed in a Mirror layout in Windows.

I guess it's stupid to ask after but, is this a "safe" option? I understand that all writes, moves & deletes are mirrored and that is what I want but does windows do a good job at doing this?

Second, the way I want to do this, again dumb for asking after, is have 1 drive internal and 1 external so I can travel with one to friends house to watch movies. If I unplug the one drive, will this make anything stop functioning properly if it's back before any deletes, moves or writes are done? Will Windows require a restart after bringing it back into the picture?

Thanks
 
After looking into this further, I suppose something that mirrors would not be a good choice for removable hardware since any slight changes will screw up the mirror... Hmm, might have to use synctoy maybe?
