I was thinking to use the ReadyNas as the storage so it has RAID 1 already.

What do you think?
Thanks.

Travis,
Any good harddisk should be ok with whatever io you throw at it. What you cold
consider though is the data is important enough not to be lost if a disk
would become corrupt (which can always happen, its hardware) is to mirror the
volume in raid1 (software raid should be ok and hardware raid would be better
but sometimes difficult to integrate with linux.
Reading would then automatically be done round in round robin fashion giving
you a bit more speed from the disk.
Writing would be just a bit more expensive than non-mirrored but if your speed
of the machine is ok it should not be a burden on the machine. Separate s-ata
or IDE interfaces would help.
Note that this means creating a md device and that is not possible on a
existing volume without destroying the data. A new disk would be step one.
create a 1 device mirror, copy all the data, add a second mirror and voila.
