Laptop RAID question...

I'm going to be doing some pretty hefty video editing soon and I'd like to get one of those external firewire enclosures. A 6 drive one, with two DVD burners, and 4 RAIDed hard drives. 0+1 I believe, a mirrored set of striped drives. Now, what's the best way to do a RAID with this setup? Are there enclosures that have built-in RAID? Is there another kind of hardware solution? Does software RAID totally suck?

Thanks!
 
With 400mbit = under 50 MB/s sustained transfer over firewire, is there any point to RAID0?

And RAID1 isn't really needed either if you're good about making manual backups.
 
Yea, buy a desktop, because thats going to be WAY more troble than its worth...
Or just get a 76gb raptor(10k) in an external firewire enclosure, and back up sucker every week
