[QUOTE="AhmadMarafi, post: 1106321, member: 171084"] Hello... I have: -MacBookPro - OS X 10.6.4 - with 1-TB 2.5" Hard Drive. -A 1-TB 3.5" External USB Drive. -Master Hard Drive booting and working fine. -USB Hard Drive is attached and formatted with no problems. My intention: -I have the will to use RAID-1 as a solution to mirror the master Hard Drive (the only Hard Drive in any Mac Book Pro!) to the 1-TB USB Hard Drive. -I read that I can do that using the MacBook Pro Recovery CD. This is with using the RAID tab in the Disk Utility.(No problem so far). Question/Doubt: -It is a Laptop Computer, and I take it with me everywhere; normally, I would disconnect the computer from the USB hard drive when I am on the move. -I would use the computer at work or anywhere else; so, data would be accessed, modified, added, or even deleted! -Now, if I connect the computer back to the USB Hard Drive, what will happen? -How would the two RAID-ed hard drives behave? -Would the Laptop recognize the Laptop Hard Drive as a master/source and the USB Hard Drive as the destination? -How would the RAID-1 setup treat "rebuilding" for the two drives? -What would be copied to the Destination drive? all data? changes? -Lastly, remarks and suggestions are appreciated. Thank you... Ahmad [/QUOTE]
