I'm aiming well outside of my capabilities at the moment...but if it's at all possible to set up a RAID 1 (mirrored) on two identical drives I'm curious to see if anyone's managed to do it, or has pointers as to how to pull it off.
I currently have one GTP/UEFI install that's working perfectly on a 32GB ssd.
The cheapest, ugliest way I can immediately think to do it is to install an identical drive, dd my current drive (which is fully installed and working) to the new drive, then cron a job to rsync the directories I care about.
When I did this in Solaris 11.1, it was....easy-ish to make a zfs pool and just have it do everything in software...it worked pretty well.
As for Arch Linux...any suggestions?
Should I rely on a hardware solution for this?

There is a RAID page on the wiki: it is straightforward. As for rsyncing, why would you do that? If you want a RAID install, use mdadm.

Huh...my googling didn't bring that up for me. Thanks for the idea, I'll start there.
In case someone else missed it on google:
