wow, thats completely wrong.
If you buy two hard drives, their lifespan is the same, RAID or not. RAID 0 merely runs the risk that ONE dead drive takes out ALL the data, instead of one dead drive taking out half the data. It doesnt increase the chance of either drive failing.
read his post again. the array fails. not the drives. and data in raid0 drives is very difficult to recover, while being relatively easy for non-raid drives.
