I've never tried to use OS X's built-in RAID options to create a mirrored pair, and I'm trying to decide if it's worthwhile (for our house's media drives.) Due to our living situation, it's less than convenient to get to our offsite backup, so being able to recover from a single drive failure would be nice.

Anyone have any experience? We don't care at all about speed, just that it not be a buggy software RAID implementation.


(edit) VVV: Thanks for the reply! By "recover" I mean "survive a single disk failure". As noted, we have an offsite backup for actual backup. And actually they'd be just a pair of USB's, heh. But as I said, speed is a non-issue. Not high-quality media, not doing anything but being there for two people.
