my best advice - forget software raid - I have found it very very unreliable
to say the least in win2003
install two hardisks by all means and shadow the db to the other disk,
but if you want raid use hardware raid.
either way, corruption in one copy of the db is immediately corruption in
the other.
if your db activity is low, then replication to another completely separate
box eliminates possible corruption since you are relying on a second tcp
communications layer to write the second copy. But it's much slower of
course.
