RAID question

[GreatGreen]

if i had two SATA hard drives, what would be the best performing RAID array for games, while still being able to recover data in case of a single harddrive failure? (in other words, let's exclude RAID 0)

also, would your answer change if i were to say i had 3 harddrives?
