Free software?! Didn't come with mine, but I got mine quite a while back. Wonder if I can download it...

I am seriously considering this unit based on your past recomendations. I have a question about RAID 1. That means the two drives mirror each other right? So essentially it is one 500gb drive with a twin? I see the redundancy but is there a benefit to backing up one drive to the other using software? Can it leave more space available that way? Essentially I am asking if a backup compressess the backup file or is it the same size as the original?
btw the same unit at memex would be $203.99 plus tax.
