Raid-0 and backups: sure, that's why I recommend another (big, slower) drive as a backup. By the way, those Raptors have a MTBF about three times as big as the regular IDE disks, since the mechanical and magnetic parts come from the SCSI line. Which means two Raptors in a RAID-0 still have a better MTBF than a single regular IDE. If you want to play safe, you go for 4 Raptors and a RAID 0+1 config. Expensive, but both very fast and very safe.
