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

so is basically to get less chances of a drive crash and lose some instead of all datas?

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" :P)
 
unplugging it while the computer is on and the hardrive is working, you're really asking for it lol :D so far i only seen some board with raid0,1,2.
