I thank each of you for all of your insights. I think if this was a production system I'd abandon the idea of 2 drives and get a more capable system, maybe a 2U box with lots of SAS drives so I could use RAIDZ configurations. But in this case, I think all I can do is try some things until I understand it better.
Please continue to add to the discussion as I learn something each time someone posts a reply.
