The issue I rate as more liekly than hardware failure, is malware. and to have both drives permanently connected to the systems meas that if you detect a malware on one drive,m you cnanot trust the other any more.

And there you are in need to copy back a backup from an external source with an image, and manually copy all changed datafiles since the image was created.

I don'T know how fast Windows 7 will slow down over weeks and months (during booting), but with my old XP system i made it a habit to make a total cleanup and do a fresh install once a year. A RAID 1 does not store the original, fresh state of the installation on the day you built it, but accumulates all faults and changes and complications and slowdowns that have been stockpiled since then.
