I am building a new computer mostly for gaming. I am thinking of setting

up RAID 0 with two 250GB HDD. I know that RAID 0 increases

performance such as read/write speed but lacks in reliability. My question

is, is using RAID 0 just as reliable as just using one hard drive(not RAID at

all) or is it riskier some how because the data is spread throughout 2

different hard drive? Thanks in advance for any replies.
