I am thinking of using disc utility to create a RAID 1 set with two external drives.
What happens if one drive fails? Can I simply mount the other drive and read the information? Or is that drive always and forever confined to the RAID set? IOW, I would have to rebuild the mirror no matter what?
Similarly, what if the boot drive goes T-U? will the RAID pair be recognized by any computer it is connected to?
Pretty basic questions. Apologies.
