There is protection against that too, as well as accidental deletions, but you'd have to run Solaris 10 and use ZFS - you get checksums on everything from start to finish and you can run snapshots automatically on a regular basis to guard against accidental deletions. 
Of course that doesn't help a lot in this case... I agree though that it's a question of what one prioritizes. RAID1 is usually a more sensible approach than RAID0 though, assuming you don't need the maximum possible speed.
