won't take HUGE resources but it does require more than stripping the drives. Yes a copy is stored in the mirrored drive
yes in case of a failure you can replace the bad drive and rebuild/copy/ to the new drive [hot swap].

The documentation that came with your SCSI card and /or SCSI mainboard will have the step by step setup instructions for creating a mirrored arrary.
