Aside from the initial copy, subsequent backups are hopefully setup incremental. So extra speed isn't really beneficial in a SOHO environment.
And RAID 1, if setup as an automatic mirror, sounds great until you realize that when you save your document, and it's wrong, or corrupt, so is the mirrored copy.
If you've got a second backup drive, just backup to both. That way you have 2 or three copies (3 if your working drive also stores data.)
