SATA RAID on P4P800.. Stable enough?

[KDKPSJ]

Hey, guys. I am going to get P4P800 for my new 2.6C, and HDD is only thing I could not decide.

SATA RAID 0. This could be my final decision if I didn't read about the possibility of RAID broken. I cannot afford for extra HDD for RAID 1, however, my data would be important. So, is it easy to onboard SATA RAID by ICH5-R be broken? I don't want to afford for Raptor, because of the price and the noisiness from 10k RPM spinning. How's stability of onboard SATA RAID of P4P800, or any other mobo using ICH5/ICH5-R?

Umm, extra drive for raid1? either raid1 or raid0 will need two disks

Oh I meant by extra drive was for RAID 1 with RAID 0 (RAID 0+1, in proper way ). I meant I cannot afford 4 drives for RAID 0+1.
