I've worked with servers professionally. I have never seen a server setup with a Raid 0 array, unless it was part of a Raid 0+1 mirror. On the servers I have setup, I've used Raid 1 and Raid 5, but NEVER Raid 0. Raid 1 halves your available storage, but disk space is cheap nowdays and fault tolerance is wise usage of disk space. You guys who religiously believe in Raid 0, answer these question with hard facts -- 1) "How much performance does one gain by going to a Raid 0 configuration?" 2) Is the performance gain worth the risk in down time and data loss? Put your money where your mouth is and be honest about it!!!
