That's a good point to.  I'm looking to get ordering two 500gb drives 
configured in a MIRROR form.  I don't need speed.  By the time I'm done, I 
should have 5 MIRRORed RAIDs installed.

Ah, tell me this, am I able to use RAID MORRORed with LVM?  I've never used 
RAID so please don't beat me up on this one.  :)
