As I understand it, if either drive fails on a Raid 0 setup... you are fucked. But my sister told me that I can set one up with 3 drives and somehow the extra one will back the other two up?

How would having a single mirroring the two acting as one not cut the performance in half?

I definitely understand than R0 is NOT safe, thanks
