I've got an 80GB drive right now (see sig), and I'm starting to run out of space. I want to buy another, identical 80GB for SATA raid 0, but I've heard that with raid 0, if one drive fails, all data is lost, so I'd either have to make frequent backups or do raid 0+1. I want to save a little money, so I'm wondering if I can have my two main 80GB drives raid 0, and then have them mirror to a single 160GB drive, but will this decrease performance? If it does, is there some way to do incremental nightly backups that will backup both my windows and linux partitions?
