SSDs have much higher reliability than HDD.
Mirroring is the only RAID level that does not impose a write penalty.
Mirroring SSDs is expensive

Based on these 3 points, I'd say a backup is a much better solution than RAID, unless you want to (R)AID-0 them into a stripe for even more insane performance.
