That's fair enough for a system that isn't critical, but you can almost guarantee that the disk failure will happen at the most inconvenient time. I'd rather have a couple of cheap disks and MD software RAID so that the system boots as long as one of the drives hasn't failed. Then you can replace/fix the failing disk at a convenient time.
