As soon as you join the two disks into a big one, you lose the possibility to use them for redundant data. So if want to: a/ Have a big spool volume, you can either use a JBOD+spanning, RAID0 setup or join them using LVM. Your data won't be protected over a hard disk failure, it's like using a plain disk setup. b/ Add data redundancy, you'll have to use a RAID1 setup but you'll get only one volume of 500 GiB.
