Disk mirroring in Windows?
I recently reformatted my desktop @ home with one 500GB and one 750GB drive. I got Windows 7 ultimate installed on 500GB.
Under disk management I saw you can "add mirror" to the partition (effectively convert the second disk from basic to dynamic). Sorry for my lack-there-of Windows volume knowledge... but is this the Microsoft solution to software RAID-1?
I made a mirror, reboot, and was greeted with dual booting option. I think the second boot option they called it "Windows 7 second plex". Wow.... "PLEX", first thing popped into my mind is Veritas. LOL!
I booted with "second plex", came up fine. Did some work, reboot into the primary plex and all the sudden the disks started resynching again. Because the partition is 500GB, it took hours to resync. Is it normal for it to resync when you boot between the mirrors? If so, that's kinda mess up.

It is normal for it to resync.
Even on big hardware raid cards, if you removed a hot swappable drive, and placed it back. The array would resync.Cleverhosting - Professional Hosting with Unlimited Features!
