One of the joys of using mirrors is that you can add a mirror device, 
and you can later take it away.  Adding a mirror device causes it to 
be resilvered from the existing data drive(s).  This means you can 
convert a non-redundant load-shared configuration into a redundant 
load-shared configuration.  If you are desperate for a drive, you can 
remove one from a mirror.
