Cheapest way to implement RAID level 1?
For my home network, I'm thinking about moving vacation photos to a RAID system.
What's the cheapest way to implement RAID level 1 storage? Netgear SC101 box?

There are hardware adapters that you can plug two drives into, making them appear as one drive to the host computer. If you are trying to fake-out a Netgear box that's probably what I'd try.
Some of the file-sharing appliances include a "backup" function that will duplicate your primary drive nightly to a secondary drive of the same size. While not RAID 1, it would limit your risk of loss.
The CHEAPEST way to do this would be soft-RAID on your PC...but I doubt you'd like the performance. A close second would be to stick any of the Promise-based IDE RAID controllers into your desktop and attach the drives to it.

Get an old pro motherboard + processor from Abit (e.g. KT7-RAID) or Asus (can't think of an example) with IDE RAID. About 10 GBP on eBay. Then install the O/S (Microsoft presumably) and set up file sharing.
