I don't know of any specific software drivers to provide this
capability, but I would have thought drive mirroring would be handled
by the controller, without any knowledge of the OS (and thus could
perhaps use an existing device driver).
In any case, do you really need disk *mirroring*? Why not just
hook up the additional drive and make a backup of your files to it
nightly? Do you files change that often?
