I would advise against running RAID0 and RAID1 on the same pair of 
drives.  If you're writing to the RAID1 mirror, you'll lose any 
performance benefits you might have gotten from the RAID0.  I would 
choose one or the other and stick with it.  Make backups of your 
important data in either case, but especially if you go with RAID0.
