The RAID1 should allow the system to opperate as usual until the drive is replaced. I replaced 2 hot-plugable disks (both part two RAID1 which were both parts of a RAID0) on a dell poweredge server this tuestay without even rebooting. If your disks have EEC there should be a minimum risk for failure of a degraded RAID1.
