So in summary, raid 0 = take lots of backups and enjoy ~70% performance increase. Your risk of hardware failure is doubled assuming 2 disks - ohhh right, you can add even more......

And yes, the benefit is incremental. I run 4 striped disks. Sub-10second boot for win2k on an xp1800 cpu system, but I accept the 4x failure risk. When you lose one striped drive, you lose 'em all

Same as a Ferarri, thats the price of the fast lane.
