Linux RAID currently supports RAID 10 on 2 drives. Would recommend that
over RAID 0 in most cases.
It will give you the redundancy of mirroring with the IO of striping
with as few as 2 drives. Plus none of the
hassles that come with booting your OS on a striped array.

The only drawback is that few distro support setting it up at install
time. No biggie if you are configuring it
as secondary storage, if the distro has native drive/partition
management GUI's. However, if trying to set
it up to install an OS on, you need to be fairly comfortable with Linux
command line. Some time ago, I put
together a cheat sheet for just such occasions. I can make it available
if needed.
