You have a 1TiB and 500GiB options (RAID0 and RAID1) - RAID0 makes the overall drive less reliable, and, when one drive fails, you lose
all your data. RAID1 provides a pseudo-backup in that you don't lose your data when only one drive fails.
You can probably get cheaper high capacity using software RAID5 (or RAID15) with a lot of second hand drives.
