hardware question [2]: SATA RAID

[Matt Price]

Hi folks,

SO I'm going to put two 300-gig SATA drives in my new system, and I'm trying
to decide whether or not to use RAID in them.  I guess RAID 0 (striped)
seems too risky, while RAID 1 (mirror) seems like a tremendous waste of
space...  what I'd really LOVE to do is to have some (absolutely crucial)
partitions (/home, /usr, /etc) mirrored and other, less essential partitions
(/music, /videos) striped.  BUt I also imagine that's impossible.  I
justwanted to check in and see how other people have managed similar issues.  

THanks,

matt
