Be careful. There's a tendency that if one drive fails, the other will follow very soon. Especially if the drives are from the same batch (I was bitten by this), but not necessarily. I'm not expert on the topic, but I believe that when planning for long-term HDD reliability, buying drives from multiple different vendors is a must.
