Thanks mdgm for the explanation.
I'l cry for a month if I lose that data, and I'm a tough bloke. So this is what I propose:

Any alternatives? I've seen a few threads on here that have the duo reporting ATA errors that then miraculously disappear...I'm really hoping that the slot 2 disk is ok...I mean the indicator is green, right???
