[Novalug] RAID use with two 1TB drives

Using FreeNAS, building new backup server.

I'm going to assume with 2 identical drives the best I can do is RAID1.  Looks
like RAID5 needs minimum 3 drives.

Am I correct is this assumption?  Would would be the best use of 2 drives and
FreeNAS?

Finally updating my old FreeNAS box, which is not using RAID.

TIA,

Jay
