[Rafael Amador] "I thought that that was the only way to set it."

RAID-1 is not something you'd typically want to use for editing anyway Rafa, it's too expensive (you only get 50% useable storage). It's better suited for things like copying SD or P2 cards in the field (because it essentially creates an instant backup), or for system drive redundancy as in the dedicated two-drive RAID-1 enclosure I reviewed here: http://library.creativecow.net/weiss_roth_david/Stardom-Pro-Review/1.

And, for the record, the big enclosures you see from all the manufacturers, which are typically configured as RAID-5 these days, could also be configured as RAID-0, just like your 2-drive enclosures from G-Tech, but RAID-5 protected storage has an advantage in that you are safe should any single drive fail. Plus, you only lose about 10% of your storage volume and little only a very slight performance hit in return for the protection you gain.
