You know that a RAID1 is not a backup solution, right?
Your data will be better protected by running only one drive and
using the second as a backup (external disk, for example).

Sorry if I sound like one giving lessons around, but hearing
you are going to have a 1.5TB home directory full of stuff
pushes me to give you a warning now and not when the wrong
rm command will have killed all your files.

Friendly said.
