no doubt a backup solution should be in place for any system where data integrity is an issue, but as for doubling your chances of losing data? no. on a single drive system if your drive fails it fails, you lose data. on a system with 2 drives, if one drive fails, you lose data; no doubling of chances. I suggested a stripe simply as way of highlighting a better way of improving data read write performance. If you really wanted to go all the way you would use a raid 10 or a raid 5 mirrored! But that is going too far I think for this query.

JDArt; Without doubt, use a backup solution, regardless of what you choose to do. Just remember, the faster you move data, the better your performance will be.
