two disks = RAID 0 or 1

RAID 1 is mirroring:
 - Pros: safe (goes on even with a dead HD), fast reads (from both disks)
 - Cons: you only use 50% of total HD space (500GB total in your case).

RAID 0 is stripping:
 - Pros: fast reads/writes and you use 100% of total HD (1TB)
 - Cons: unsafe (you lose 1 HD, you lose everything).

Or just don't use RAID and create a cache_dir on each HD...
Best would be RAID1 for the system and no RAID for the cache_dirs I think.
