Western Digital RE3 WD1002FBYS 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Hard Drive - OEM

Thinking about installing 2 of these in a Powermac G5 quad 2.5 ghz and replacing the boot drive in the process.

raid 1 mirrored: can I install one new drive - mirror the old boot drive, remove the old boot drive, then install the second and keep working? Or do I have to back up and re-install it all. I would back-up in any case, but hoping to save some time.
