to maximize performance don't use RAID but two cache directories, one on
each disk. Or, since 500GB may be very enough, just use one disk for cache
and other for everything else - system, configs, logs etc.

other solution may be use part of one disk for system etc and the rest for
cache, other disk only for cache or having everything but the cache
mirrorred and two equal partitions on each disk for cache, However RAID-1
will cost some performance and the previous solution may degrade performance
because of different load on different disks...
