I'd prefer not to have to deal with the "break a mirror/fail the drive/swap
it out/remirror" routine. My idea is to simply bring the server down, swap
out the one disk, reboot and walk away.

That's true, but need to set up an auto-notification of the server going
down to handle all the other possible failure causes anyway, and the B drive
is right there on the shelf ready to go. In fact having it NOT inside the
server eliminates the chance that it would be damaged by one of those other
causes - I've had a failed PSU fry almost all the components in a machine. .
