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.
