Is it good to have partition of 800GB on RAID1?

I am planning to install a server with

/boot - 500 MB

/ - 50 GB

/opt - 800 GB

SWAP - 8 GB

All the partition with RAID 1 on two WD enterprise HDD.

Please suggest your valuable views.

@Warren Young Could you please move it to serverfault.com? – PrashantB Aug 13 '12 at 14:44
I'm not a moderator, so no, I can't move it. But, I have flagged it for moderator attention, so one of them can decide on it. – Warren Young Aug 13 '12 at 15:16
Way too subjective for SF… – MikeyB Aug 13 '12 at 16:47

I asked, but SF doesn't want it. Whether or not to have an 800G RAID1 partition would probably depend on your use case and is pretty subjective; this isn't really answerable – Michael Mrozek♦ Aug 13 '12 at 16:48
