never ever what so ever, put your OS on a Raid 0.. you have 75% higher chance of breakdown...
If you want something fast, then buy 4 disks:
Make one raid1 set out of disk 1 and 2 - call it A
Make one raid1 set out of disk 3 and 4 - call it B
Connect 1 and 3 to one channel on the raidcontroller
connect 2 and 4 to the other channel
Make a raid 0 (stripe) out of set A and B - that way you have SUPER speed and safety.. 2 disks have to die before you loos data that way . and it got the speed of a raid0
