Im not so much concerned about the os not being on a raid system. I am really concerned about my data, music, pictures,docs, etc.
I run a minimum os centos 5.9 install anyway so it would take long to reload the os if i had to.

indeed.   the primary justification for the "R" in RAID, Redundant, is 
high availability.     having the OS on a non-raid volume completely 
violates this.    RAID is most definitely NOT a substitute for backups.
