Re: Model 200 - One More Time

[Larry Bolhuis <lbolhuis@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Carl is correct. Making a mistake that duplicates SCSI addresses will 
cause both drives to fail. Making a mistake that leaves no Load Source 
disk is also very bad. You will want to know which side they came from 
though because on the left only mirrored protection is available while 
on the right RAID is supported.
