Backup software

Hello, im looking for a very simple program, a program that literally just clones another folder, and once something from that folder is deleted, its also deleted from the cloned folder.

 

LITERALLY the same way dropbox works across two computers, i want this across two folders, but on separate drives. 

i want this to be my backup drive in case of a drive failure.

i read the article, and have a few questions.

 

I have a 500MB M.2 SSD that i will be using as my primary drive, and a 1TB HDD that will be used as my secondary drive.

 

Can i split the HDD into two drives of 500MB each, have one of them for storage (video files and project files that take up a lot of space), and have the other half of the drive dedicated to backing up the SSD, WITHOUT slowing down the SSD?

yyeah probably you could without slowing down ssd but I suggest buying external HDD with USB 3.0 and setting backup on it, far more secure than any raid
