RE: 2-disk layout

If you were doing RAID 1, you would have 9GB of usable space. This is because you would mirror 1 9GB drive to the other There would be no ability to spread the load across the drives. This would be fine with me seeing I am a bigger fan of not doing restores than I am of a somewhat faster system.
