Options for increasing server fault tolerance on an SSD nvme drive?
Good day, dear comrades. Share your experience or thoughts on this topic:
There is a server with nvme ssd (2 pieces on board) for the system and files, the 1c terminal server function is nothing special.
Previously, I always used RAID 1 + 0 on HDD or SSD, but as it turned out on a particular server, there is no way to organize RAID1 between two nvme ssds. After studying this issue a little, I came to the conclusion that raid on nvme ssd is rather bad than good in terms of performance. I decided to leave everything spinning on one nvme SSD drive, but what about fault tolerance? As the second disk "nearby" stands idle. Maybe using third-party software, you can simply mirror at the disk level, for example, clone the entire disk once a day, in case the first one fails, the server will be able to boot from the clone on the second disk?
Otherwise, it turns out that I have a fast server that runs on one disk, without hot swapping (so to speak)
Copies are made using windows tools, to another server, I want to have exactly a clone of the SSD disk "at hand" as it would be in the case of raid1/

I decided to leave everything spinning on one nvme SSD drive, but what about fault tolerance?Do you really need her? Many users, high cost of downtime? As a rule, small servers are easier to stop for an hour and roll back from the backup than to fence fault tolerance. In this case - frequent shadow copies, and frequent backup.
Copies are made using windows tools, to another server, I want to have exactly a clone of the SSD disk "at hand"It is not entirely clear how the image of a system disk made using Windows tools differs from a clone of an SSD disk?
