PC QUESTION:

I have a new hard drive enclosure with 2 1TB drives in it. Each drive is it's own drive letter...Y: and Z:
All I want to do is have Y: copy itself exactly to Z: without any user interaction or very little if possible. Is there a good free program out there to accomplish this?

Microsoft SyncToy?

I tried it but I'm not crazy about it...I found it didn't always do a 100% mirror.

You could probably just write an xml code. You can manually hit it or set it to sync every couple minutes. Its not that hard if you actually know a bit of coding. Look into that, i'm sure its more cleaner than any program.

Check out SyncBack. It might be what you need. I've used it to synchronize folders, but I can't remember if it can do full drives. Its worth a look though.
