A raid devise? was mentioned. What is that?
In a nutshell:
RAID is a card (kinda like a graphic card) you install in an empty slot in your PC. Then you hook up two identical disks to it and start saving your data in one of the drives. If you have the RAID array set to "mirror" (RAID1) all the data on your drive will be mirrored to both of them in a real-time. If your drive goes bad you will always have another (identical) drive with your data left intact.
If you have any questions, PM me and I'll do my best to answer them.
