Err... that's what RAID1 is for... if you're going to mirror using rsync, it's better to mirror across your LAN to a different machine (preferably also running RAID1 or RAID5). Or at least, it's proven so for me - as they say, YMMV.
I have a couple of really big hard drives, and I write disk images from my laptop (which has a really small drive) to them every week or so.
And yeah - file serving is a primary function of Linux these days - it works spectacularly well :D
