ReadyNAS Ultra 2-Bay RAID question

I'm looking at buying the Netgear ReadyNAS Ultra 2-Bay NAS unit and 2 WD Red HDDs. I want to run RAID 1 so that the data is mirrored on both drives. Now, I've read some information on RAID but am not an expert- I have a couple of questions:

1) With RAID 1 my understanding is that if one drive fails, the other will have all of the data. Now, can I take the 1 working drive and plug it into a computer and access/copy the data?
 
the data will be on the drive and the NAS should still be able to work with just that one drive.

Generally you can not take the drive out of a NAS like these and have them work in a "normal" windows PC as the NAS uses a form of linux or even a company special format/partitioning which means a straight install into a PC will not work. Each NAS is different and I can not say what the ReadyNAS uses without doing a good amount of web searching.
