I wouldn't go RAID0 if your working on important data. It only makes a big difference in servers and databases anyways. I have it on my gaming rig because I like to be on the battlefield first in multiplayer. That and because i'm a pimp.

not for flash, web stuff. unless you are editing and or capturing videos. these newer SATA or even IDE will be more than fast enough

yeah it's better to just do a backup using another hdd or tape anyways
