Not really necessay if your running RAID1 Mirror. There is a live CD version of DD. I use it now and then for imagaing HD because it supports Network Drives. Once you boot you have to mount the drives then drop to the cmd line and only copy the 25-40meg of it. You should be able to use a USB to IDE adapter, too. I have one I guess I could test it but there are may mfg of these.

Instruction for using DD is well documented in the wiki, and may even be in the FAQ.

But any utility that supports RAW Copy will work. But most do not like being interupted, the reason cmd line utilites are needed.
