Why RAID 1 instead of 5?
Maybe he's cheap. RAID 1 is kinda slow, and you lose HALF of your total capacity.
RAID 5 is faster, you only lose 1/3 of capacity if you use 3 drives - but you need at least 3. In either case, you can still only lose 1 drive at a time.
At least you don't get a performance hit with RAID 5.
