I would only use RAID 1 in an environment where many files change rapidly and a fast restart after a disk failure is required, typically a situation met by a server. That's why Microsoft offers built-in RAID 1 support for the server versions of its OS. Software RAID 1 can be a performance drag. I believe a notebook user is better served by a good backup program. Personally I like Dantz Retrospect, I have mentioned it before in #reply-19751711 dantz.com I have been using it for over a decade, first on a Mac, now on Windows. It has no problems with tens of thousands of files spanning a backup set of dozens of gigabytes. If you still want to try Windows OS level mirroring have a look at diskpart: A Description of the Diskpart Command-Line Utility support.microsoft.com
