The problem I find with RAID1 is that it won't protect you against
silent corruptions (same as RAID5). What do you do if you do a through
check and both drives claim a data block is valid and intact, but data
differs? Do you trust disk1 or disk2?

In that respect I think RAID1 is a step into the wrong direction :(
