It allows you to survive drive failues and depending on the configuration also survive multiple simultaneous drive failues as well as increase performance

No, if your drive failes (hmm... say you unplug it just for fun) then you'll live.

Most people wont gain much benifit froma real RAID using IDE (and no RAID0 is not "real" RAID as it doesnt have "redundnant" )
