Does anyone have any experience using btrfs with multiple discs?

I have 3 1T drives in my system, unpartitioned: sdb, sdc & sdd.

It looks like:

# mkfs.btrfs /dev/sdb /dev/sdc /dev/sdc 

..will create a file system spanning the three devices.  The btrfs wiki
says that the data will be striped and the metadata mirrored.  See:
https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Using_Btrfs_with_Multiple_Devices

Is there any real data redundancy here?  I.e., is there any recovery
possible from a drive failure?  Or does one have to specifically
incorporate more raid features into this setup?
