I disagree that it's a bad idea.  It's no more "unsafe" than a single disk.
MTBF is NOT additive.  RAID 0 IS the fastest, and if that's what you need,
then it's a good idea.

Also, if you are using it as a data store, which is typically what RAID is
used for, instead of a main system disk, then you SHOULD be backing up.

I have dozens of hard disks in my multiple machines, and haven't had a
failure in years, and they are on 24/7/365.  The MTBF of the drives is far
less than the next technology leap that I replace the disks for anyway.
