Can I use the hard drives as mirror (RAID 1)?

Lenovo's web site indicates support for the following: RAID 0, 1; JBOD also available

You can use it with one drive but you will not be able to use a RAID configuration.

Right now I have a mirrored array on this PCI RAID SATA card with two 2 TB SATA hard drives. I am booting my Windows 7 Pro machine on a separate SATA controller on my motherboard from an SSD drive.

Yes. Configuring the drives as RAID0 or JBOD will give you combined size of all drives with no redundancy presented to Windows as a single logical drive.

It depends how you want to use it. In Raid 0 it will work, but in Raid 1 it will not work.

Comes with 2x2 TB drives. So, default RAID 1 would give you approximately 2 TB of usable space. This allows for one of the drives to fully fail and you lose nothing. Just have to replace the bad drive to retain redundancy.

I believe once you change to flex-raid you can setup the drives however you would like. If you have 4 drives you can use raid 1 for two drive and leave the others drives as raid 0

Yes you can. Link to article I found. http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/22808/~/what-is-flex-raid-and-how-does-it-work-with-my-readynas-os-6-storage-system%3F

Yes... Since its not a RAID enclosure, you can copy from one drive to the other from within. You get normal SATA 3G speeds when doing this.

My off-the-top-of-my-head remark is that if your RAIDing is software RAID, so the jumper in the enclosure is in the JBOD position, then yes. If you used the jumper to set RAID1 in hardware then I am doubtful, because it's difficult to know whether extra information gets written to the disks that might confuse the PC. The fact that you say "PC" suggests you mean Windows and I should add I know nothing about Windows: I use my enclosure under Linux.

That depends if your controller supports it, if so then yes. I am running raid 10 on mine.

As far as I know from the documentation, if you place the drives in with the dip switches set to JBOD then you should be fine. I'm not sure how well that functions since I was mainly interested in the HW RAID.

Yes you can. I am currently running RAID5 with 4 3TB WD Red hard drives, 1 bay is open.

yes. And it requires setting a jumper in the enclosure to which raid type you want.

No. This card has no RAID functionality. You need to find a card that offers RAID 1, which is drive mirroring, to do what you're looking to do.

Yes either raid 0 or raid 1 is possible. I would not recommend this product though.

Technically, I doubt it. If you treat it as a series of JBOD disks, maybe, but anything with RAID will require the unit reformat all drives. In general, I don't recommend the unit -- it's slow, it's finicky, etc.
