Just in case you planned to mirror the disk in another server, you can use
rsync to create a mirror via network.

Yes, that's called raid 1.

It's simple to install using raid 1 on a machine with 2 identical hard
disks.
Make the /boot partition first.  During installation, it gives you all the
choices to make it easy.

If a hard disk fails, you may have to disconnect the bad hard disk and
reboot.
A dead disk can sometimes disable the disk controler.
