[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1163209, member: 24098"] I just use SuperDuper to clone the one to the other. But keep in mind, your stated need was not to have a backup device, but to use it to hold media. That's exactly what I use it for - as a server for shared media. With that goal in mind, you probably won't be doing a whole lot of direct manipulation of the filesystem, you'll most likely be putting data on it and reading from it. And in that case, mirroring has you covered in terms of keeping your data stable. I'm getting ready to swap my 500's for 1.5TBs - just waiting for the prices to come down a bit more. [/QUOTE]
