The RAID1 should allow the system to opperate as usual until the drive
is replaced. I replaced 2 hot-plugable disks (both part two RAID1 which
were both parts of a RAID0) on a dell poweredge server this tuestay
without even rebooting.
If your disks have EEC there should be a minimum risk for failure of a
degraded RAID1.
