It all depends on how the init it is done in raid1/mdadm. If it copies data from one disk to the other to make a raid 1 you are ok. If it zeros both disk then the data is gone. I am not sure internally which it does for raid1. The data may still be there. I have seen real raid controllers when re-inititalized simply copy data from one disk to the other preserving the data in the raid1 case.
