Perhaps there's something I just didn't notice?
Actually that's only as risky as using a single drive, the advantage is it's much faster and lumps the HDD space into one large 'drive'. If you use a single drive for all your important data, RAID 0 isn't any more dangerous than the common single drive setup (I know I was being redundant, but I wanted to drive my point in).

Jam it back in, in the dark.
