Hi folks,
I currently back up everything manually (clone, time machine, important docs) but I'm looking for a more automated system so I'm thinking of buying a 2 disk enclosure like this one: http://www.amazon.com/Vantec-3-5-In...TF8&colid=369ZEBI6HEOFO&coliid=I2MW3RSR7IVNTX
But I don't understand how RAID1 works.
So let's say I put two 2TB drives in them, let's call them A and B.
Is it possible to partition these drives and RAID1 only certain partitions?
Ex:
A1 ----> B1
A2 ----> B2
A3 nomirroring B3
Also, does the enclosure do the mirroring or does OSX do the mirroring?
Sorry for dumb newbie questions.
Thanks
