I just bought a new high def camcorder, and thus need some serious storage in my computer.  Is it possible to set up two drives, to be used solely for video, in a RAID-1 setup, without reinstalling the OS?  If not, I would probably just have one drive backup to the other drive every night, using Acronis or SyncBack.

I'm kinda curious about this also, I'm pretty sure you lose all your data when you make a raid 0, but don't know about a raid 1.

According to this at least, it looks like you can set up a striped array from within Windows.
