Chris, there are several different types of RAID. The type you are referring to is called RAID 0 and you're correct that it increases performance, but the risk is losing one drive makes the other useless without reformatting. Raid 1 is what I want. It's not a performance boost, but instead it's a real-time backup of the other drive. There's a bunch of stuff online if you're interested in learning more about it.
