Technically, quite true. However, OS and user data are very different. User data
recreation and/or restoration can be as painful as impossible, justifying RAID.
OS
can be reinstalled rather easily in a nominal amount of time. A 120G SSD can
hold
multiple OS installations quite easily. A spare 120G SSD costs less than a
petrol
fillup. I stopped putting OS on RAID when I got my first SSD. My current primary
PC has 5 18G OS installations, all bootable much more quickly than finding a
suitable USB stick to rescue boot from.
