Setup External RAID 1 (pseudo RAID, at least)

[LittleNemoNES]

Hi Folks.
I have a mac mini with 2x external HDDs (lacie docks)

The internal HDD is the boot drive.

external HDD1 is where I keep all my videos
external HDD2 is empty.

How can I set up so that external HDD1 and HDD2 are synched?
Thanks

If you really want RAID I believe OS X supports software RAID but I have no idea how good it is or if it'll let you use external disks.

I believe it can be done right within Disk Utility if I'm not mistaken...

It is super easy to setup RAID in OS X. Yes, as Aphex mentioned, you use Disk Utility.

If the synchronization does not need to be in real time, then you can use something like iBackup or Xsync to do synchronized backups.
