You've got a RAID1 setup now, so I have to assume that you've decided at some point in the past that the down time you'd incur replacing a disk when one fails is great enough to buy a second disk. SSDs aren't immune to failure. Right now, I'm operating on a degraded RAID1 volume while I wait for an RMA for a SAMSUNG 860 QVO that I installed just over one year ago. For me, the cost of the outage justified the redundant storage device. It was expensive, but it's a cost that paid off this year.
