will give you official support, but it's something that many people do. Many
people suggest against it because of mismatched BIOS upgrades, but that's easily

if you have a spare drive, slap it in after you pull the second. Completing an

would like to remove the second disk before the upgrade so that if we have any
major issues (total system crash, etc), we can just replace the main disk with
the mirrored disk that we removed and go back to status quo. Is this a
good idea?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
