Once again I question why you're wasting your time with raid-z. You
might as well just stripe across all the drives. You're taking a
performance penalty for a setup that essentially has 0 redundancy.
You lose a 500gb drive, you lose everything.
Why do you say that this user will lose everything? The two
concatenated/striped devices on the local system are no different than
if they were concatenated on SAN array and made available as one LUN.
If one of those two drives fails, then it would have the same effect
as if one larger drive failed.
