For normal home use, is there any advantage to using RAID?
I was planning to create a RAID 0 as soon as I got an extra identical HDD. But now I'm reconsidering it, because I don't want to lose all the data I already have on my first HDD. I'm also planning to install Linux very soon, and I don't want to deal with driver problems and support (Linux supports my motherboards RAID software, but still -- I've heard that it's such a pain).
So is there really any point in using it?
