I never knew that about SMART.

This 20Gb drive will be used as an OS disk or to boot the machine from. The
main user data will be kept on a RAID5 array. Looking at the machine I have
it seems a RAID1 Mirror set is possible for the boot disk. I have little
(close to none) long term experience with mirrored boot disk, do you think
the time invested to create one would be beneficial?

Did anyone find having a mirrored boot disk of any use?

I apprecaite all the replies so far, it's been interesting ;)
