In RAID 0, if one of the drives fails, you will lose ALL your data.
So RAID 0 doubles your chances of data loss.  In RAID 1, both of 
your drives would have to fail for you to lose your data, so you 
are halving your chances of data loss.

I would not use RAID 0 on my own system.  I've seen too many hard
drive failures to trust it.
