Have new12 mini have added 16Gb ram and 2 500Gb momentus xt's.  Want to set them up as stipped 0. i have a 3rd 2Gb external usb 3.0 drive that i could use to mirror the striped 0. how do i install the os after i set up striped 0?

i am guessing that i clone the main drive off to an external drive setup the striped 0 then clone it back.  Also, do you think it would slow things down to have the 3rd external drive mirror as a backup to the striped 0.  I have a time machine that is backing up the mini so i may not even need the external usb 3/0 drive for backup just use the time machine. Don't know if it would be more efficient to do a backup from the attached backup drive as apposed to using the time machine.  if i end up using the attached drive as backup i will probably remove the mini from being backed up by the time machine.

Ok i have it figured out. its simple and straight forward. clone (carbon copy cloner) the main drive to an external drive.  Set the two drives as a stiped 0 raid. Then clone the external back.  Let Time Machine do backups. Set back and let her fly.
