so i bought this external HD, that is 1tb
http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16822204022
and its 2, 500gb hard drives. should i do a RAID 1 array on it? would tht mean if one drive failed, i could just swap it out with another 500gb hard drive, and all my data would be preserved and i woldnt lost anything? whereas with raid 0 (i think thats how it comes), if one drive fails, everything is gone
if this is correct, how would i go about doing a raid 1 on it? disk utility? thanks
