raid 0 failing?

I have 2x74gb raptors in raid0. works like a charm. Just notice a few days ago that 1 of the drives said "error" when booting up but have not given me any problem yet. Can I safely change the bad drive to a different one without reformatting? I'm also tempted to upgrade to a velocity raptor but wonder if I will get the same speed? Thanks
 
Backup anything important ASAP!!! I don't think you can change the drive without reformatting since it is a raid 0 array and you would break the array if you took out the drive with the error. A single Vraptor should give you similar if not better performance but I don't think it is really worth the price now with the G2 Intel SSDs out.
 
You can't change the drive because half of all your information is on that drive. If you remove the drive, you lose ALL the data. You need to copy (or clone, in the case of a system drive) the array and then repair the array and then restore your data back to the array.
