Also you will tax the CPU with the RAID unless you buy a RAID controller
with a processor of it's own. These RAID controllers are fairly expensive...

Price-wise, it is prolly a wash between 2 x 500GB vs 1TB drive .

It's seems to be cheapest to use the raid0. But, does it really decrease the MTBF a hard drive?
