Perhaps data security really isn't an issue for the poster.  For 
example, I've got a rack of servers with identical content.  Except for 
the logs, everything on any of the servers is really expendible (as long 
as they ALL don't fail...heh).  So I mirror the partition containing the 
log data and periodically aggregate all the logs to somewhere "safe."  
As a result, I feel comfy using RAID 0 for the data partitions on those 
servers.

Cheers,
