Yes. Note that creating an image of your installation would protect you
against a much greater range of mishaps than mirroring your disks. Disk
failures are rare these days.

Thanks Pegasus,
Well then, where do I start.
My asus P5b mainboard comes with a sata raid 0 or 1 controller, but not 10.

What exactly are you wanting to accomplish?
RAID-0 is a striped disk array, the data is broken into blocks and the
blocks are written to different disks, this is *not* fault tolerant, if
one drive goes south you will lose all the data on both drives!
RAID-1 is a fault tolerant "mirror" setup, this has its use but it isn't
a replacement for a proper backup.

Using a WD rated very reliable, and I back up pretty consistently.

How much RAM do you have? Your money probably would be better spent here.

The speed you think you will get may not materialize.

I tried it a few years back, it wasn't worth the trouble, not by a long
shot. (FWIW statistically you double the possibility of having to reload
due to a drive failure, if either drive stumbles, you are done.) been
there done that too, happened with one of the old IBM Deathstars.

Got myself a late Xmas present:
WD 150 gig 10,000 rpm Velocirator
HIGHLY Recommended
Not quite a SCSI, but none of that noise either
