I was wanting to use the mdadm monitoring tools to monitor the
machines single disk drive for failures and such. Is there any
performance hit for such a setup?

I assume you are talking about RAID1 arrays. No, you won't. Rather, you will get a performance loss if you carve up your disk into more than one partition.


Some machines have RAID some machines dont (for me) and
I was thinking about a common setup.

Also then if I want in the future I can actually just add the second
disk and now I have RAID.

I don't think you can actually build an array with missing disks.
