I highly doubt that both drives will go at the same time. We've been mirroring all our home drives for years, and have never had a problem.
I was providing an inexpensive and simple solution, nothing more. Like any advice or comments, he is free to accept or disregard it.

The problem with this is also what happens when a virus corrupts a file and then it is mirrored over to your second hard drive... you are out of luck. Same thing if an OS/DB file corrupts and then gets mirrored. Mirroring is not backup it is redundancy.
Not to mention what if a fire or flood gets to your PC, those with a home based business with all thier content and files on those PCs are going to be in for a world of hurt.
