You can also set it to normal mode so the system sees the drives as two external disks. The ARS-2212 - measuring at 163 x 16 x 163mm - isn't bad at all only if USB 2.0 can provide more power so we can all carry this around leaving the AC adapter at home.&quot;</em><br /><br /><img border="0" src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/500/dht/auto/1209689717.usr10.jpg" alt="" /><br /><br />I can't say I've heard of this particular brand before, and I'm not sold on the side by side design, but putting RAID 1 into a portable drive is a great idea.
