has anyone installed arch on one of these drives? thinking about buying a pair and running them mirrored... but not sure if everything will be working optimal. note: since I'll have to migrate off an existing drive I can use the tools installed on that to partition it first.

You will have to align partitions on a 4K boundary, performance will be miserable without that. I think parted is the best tool to do partitioning in this case, as parted supports aligning.
