Striping is done for speed - it does not provide
any kind of data protection.
If one drive in a stripe set fails, all of the data
on the stripe set is lost. Hence, a two drive stripe
set has twice the failure rate of a single drive, a
three drive set has three times the failure rate, etc.
If data safety is your primary concern, you might
want to consider mirroring rather than striping.
