Actually, with OS X, mirroring is simple. RAID controls are available
in Disk Utility in OS X, and are just a few clicks to activate it.
If someone is running OS X, has space for multiple drives, and is
worried about the safety of their data... with today's hard drive
prices, a mirrored RAID setup is a great option for piece of mind. I
believe it supports doing it over firewire as well, so for those that
say they have multiple firewire backup drives and do regular cloning
as a backup form, they may want to look the RAID route and know they
can then safely reduce the frequency with which they do their cloned
backups.
