WD My Book Duo data forever lost if Drive Enclosure Dies!

Testing should be straight forward at this time:

  1. Buy two (2) of the product My Book Duo, henceforth referred to as MB-X & MB-Y
  2. Set the RAID type to MIRROR on MB-X
  3. Ensure that encryption is DISABLED for MB-X
  4. Copy data for testing to MB-X ensuring that original data is preserved in place for comparison; data can be practically any file type as long as it doesn’t change once copied.
  5. Repeat steps 2, 3 & 4 with MB-Y; an alternate data set can be used for comparison
  6. Swap both drives from MB-X with MB-Y
  7. Test the data against the sources

This is of great concern to me so I would appreciate any feedback on this methodology.
