    Hard Drive(s) dying? How to be sure?

    You should back up your Data and get a new drive. Install your new drive as primary with an operating system and boot from it, then install your failing drive as secondary. Also you could use SpeedFan, it has a hard drive utility that measures the fitness of the drive.

    i'm looking for a small stand alone box to do raid 1??

    You should build your own using spare parts from past upgrades. You could slap together a P2 or Celeron system with a128Megs of RAM and throw in a RAID card and couple of high perfomance drives and you got your own! Last time I remember these Network Attached Storage devices are expensive.
