Yes, with at leat Raid 1 or better RAID 5 if one drive fails they are still in business and can keep the doors open.
Excellent post. One quibble... you need 3 drives to do RAID 5. I've never tried setting it up with just 2. Wouldn't that basically be a pre-degraded array, for lack of a better term?

RAID 5 requires at a minimum 3 drives. One can fail and it will operate in a degraded mode (not recommended). With just two drives either RAID 0 or RAID 1. If 2 drives are the options - go with the mirrord drives (RAID 1). I can se my post was what I typed and not what I was thinking :-)
