Trying to make this simple but if you take a hd and install the Lite on a formated fat 16 or 32 drive then use the MB bios of the controller to create the RAID 1 so you have some redundancy then use your other drives to use with our SW raid function. Or just use a USB flash stick to install the Lite. So as I said take a drive and format it then install Lite from lets say a windows system to make bootable then raid 1 it from the mb. I have not tested this with the lite version but should work as we tested this with the full version but should not take you but a few min to test.
