I have two 1TB drives I want to use to store offsite backups on. Is there any reason to put them in RAID0 over just creating one volume spanning over both disks?

Consider the possibility of one drive dieing, how you would prevent data-loss, and how this could not fuck up your carreer. Then make the right decision of RAID-5 and buy the one extra drive you stupid faggot.
Jbod is never a good idea
Better off having to volumes
JBOD is only useful in situations where you have a giant (and I mean GIANT) rack of hard drives that are too small to be useful on their own, and you don't need parity.

You'd have to actually be retarded to do this. With two disks, either do RAID1 or JBOD.

Did you just assume my career?
This is for personal files.
Didn't think I needed to post my entire backup solution to get a response on this sub, but here goes.
My files are already backed up to my home server, which is in a RAID10. In addition to backups to AWS glacier, I have an offsite machine where server backups are stored and am running out of room on the 1TB drive. I need at least 2TB, so RAID1 isn't an option.
Keep the drives separate.

make two volumes. 1 volume for 1 drive
