Re: Why Not Mirror The Files on Both Cards

The primary reason for the 2nd slot is to mirror the files from the first card.

Redundancy is what the 2nd slot is all about.

Of course you could also use the 2nd slot as an overflow drive, or place just JPGs there, but to my thinking (coming from an IT background) the best thing about the 2nd slot is the ability to mirror.

Agree! Otherwise, it almost defeats the purpose of having a back up.
