RAID 1 is when you have 2 harddrives that mirror eachother. So if one dies, you still have an exact copy, right up to the minute it died. You lose no data, and your PC keeps working.

Any good motherboard supports RAID.
The only cost is the additional harddrive/s.

Something like the Abit IC7-G will allow you up to 4 harddrives in a couple different RAID configurations.
Oh good, so i just need to buy 2 more drives..

Sounds like a good deal, thats only a few 100 extra. That or the risk of one day losing a 200 gig disk
