There are situations where RAID 0 can be useful. I too have them for use
as a high performance work spaces, but not for long
term storage. I feel it important to stress the dangers to those
following this thread. No matter the success others may have,
hard drives fail every day. I have run many different RAID
configurations over the last 15 years for use in different environments.
During that time, I have personally experienced many types of drive
failures. I have seen people loose ALL their data because of
RAID 0 drive failures. It is especially important for those running both
single drives and RAID 0 configurations to have a solid
backup solution in place.
