Your last sentence is my exact point. Very few people are shuffling around that much data to where it's truly worthwhile in comparison to its risk. Not only the risk but then it's also double the cost. So double the cost, double the risk for marginal benefits for nearly every typical use of a hard drive. That sound worthwhile to you? Certainly not mean, because even in RAID 0s best cases its not that much faster.

If you do video editing or handle a lot of data, RAID 0 is great

Actually I'd say that for video editing it is smarter to read input from one and write output to another disk. You'll save quite a bit on seek times. Every time one happens you'll "miss" several hundred kb's

Agreed hoho thats the kind of setup we have as well. huge raid scratch disks.
