Explanation? "Mirrored" sounds plausible, kstracker. But can you explain what it means?

you should probably say:

18 gb mirrored hard-disk space

you would mirror hard-disks for failover purposes. in practise you have two hard-disks with exactly the same contents, who permanently replicate their contents. In IT this process is called mirroring.

in your scenario, the minimum requirements for the software are 2x9gb hard-disks. That\'s why I extended my initial suggestion to hard-disk space instead hard-disk, because there are always two disks.

Hope this helps,
Klaus

you are right, it is 2x18 gb. got a bit confused here.
agree Klaus Herrmann : Like Andrzej, I think it's 2 x 18 GB hard disks.

agree Ken Cox : hardware mirrored (two physical drives with identical contents), as opposed to software mirrored (could be two identical sets of data stored on a single drive)
