RAID 0 is not the dumbest thing ever. It is recommended for gamers mainly who don't have much to loose except their games which can be re-installed.
You've got a point there, I suppose. Shows how big of a gamer I am.
RAID 0 chances of fails is actually 1/1000 which is not a single percent thats .1%
Um, no. Where are you getting that number?
PC World - Hard-Drive Failures Surprisingly Frequent
And that's of one hard drive failure. When you have two hard drives, your odds of *either* one failing are ~1.5 times higher than the odds of just the one failing. So your RAID 0 failure rate is 50% higher than a non-RAID container, which, would mean it's somewhere between 3 and 6 percent *per year*, using the numbers from that link.
