[GLLUG] Establishing Software RAID1

[Richard Houser]

Yes, that's formatting both drives.

I haven't personally found anyplace that sell those cheaply in singles, but
in sets of 10+, they are well under $2 each.  I think my last order came
out to about 1.30 each, but I got like 30 from a bulk supplier like
monoprice.  Easier to anticipate needs and overbuy, IMO.
