- The hardware-based “Raid 1” hard drive mirroring (for safe data “insurance”) that’s built into most motherboards today isn’t real Raid 1 — it’s a type of “fake” Raid 1 that’s really just a fancy software wrapper: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto
- It’s actually really, really easy to control what hard drives are mounted (and to what directories) on Ubuntu by editing the /etc/fstab file. Yeah, that’s about it. No fancy programs you have to run or weird modules/packages to install. No need to search through Google for hours thinking that “there’s got to be something more to it than that.”
