    Introduction
    WD's My Book Mirror Edition dual-drive storage system automatically mirrors your valuable data for extra protection. The USB 2.0 interface and a powerful combination of features make this system the storage solution of choice for photographers, home users, small offices, and anyone looking for extra assurance that their data is safe.
    Product Features
    The safest place for your data
    Using RAID mirroring technology, this system automatically and continuously duplicates your data for the ultimate in data protection. If one drive in this two-drive system ever fails, the system continues to run and your data is safe. How's that for peace of mind?

    Automatic backup software
    Back up your computer - just set it and forget it. Every time you save a change it's backed up and then mirrored on the second drive for the ultimate in data protection.

    Cooler, quieter, eco-friendlier
    Designed to use only WD drives with GreenPower technology, this system, with its efficient convection cooling architecture, fan-less design, and power saving mode, is reliably cool, remarkably quiet and consumes up to 33% less power* than standard systems.

    * Tests based on comparison between a 1 TB dual-drive system using 7200 RPM drives and a 1 TB dual-drive system using WD's GreenPower drives.
    Easy to set up, easy to use
    You're up and running in a few simple steps. WD's intuitive RAID wizard software lets you easily modify your RAID settings.

    Capacity Gauge
    See at a glance how much space is available on your drive.

    User serviceable
    Want to upgrade a drive? Simply open the case and replace the existing drive – no screwdriver needed.

    Just to make sure.... you can choose between RAID0 (that is no RAID) and have full 2 TB of storage space. Or have 1 drive mirrored in RAID1 and have half of storage (1TB) but always have extra secure copy of everything right?

    BTW found some reviews on amazon, it doesn't seem that stable. :(

    The product is 2x 1TB drives. RAID1 is mirroring so drive 1 mirrors drive 2 and vice versa. RAID0 is striping and will be seen as 1 single drive with 2TB of capacity. The only problem with RAID0 is that if one drive goes, the whole array is gone. RAID1 allows for one drive to die. Keep in mind RAID is not BACKUP. It is redundancy.
