Well, I have had 3 computers over the last 4 odd years and all ran a raid 0 and i have not lost a single file due to drive failure or array corruption ( Touch wood ),

I actually don't think it is a problem with the array but more or less the drives. This isn't the first time I have seen failures of Raptor drives and I often wonder if WD put more into the performance than in the reliability. My wifes computer has 2 seagate 80GB drives in a RAID 0 array and it has performed flawlessly for the past 3 years. Mine being a 4 drive array will also add fuel to the fire.
There is nothing wrong with using a RAID 0 array and I often recommend it for performance if implemented in a correct way. A RAID 0 array for the OS and apps using small drives and a larger separate drive for your data.
