mini question:
Raid 0 means in parrallel for half the space but twice the speed right?

My WD 250GB that I got from walmart for 60$ about 6 months ago has been occasionally making some bizarre sounds. (ya get what you pay for right?) So far, just touching and moving it a bit solves the problem but I'm concerned it may fail soon so I want to backup my data.

real question:
If I get a 2nd one of these drives and set it up in Raid 0 so that I get better performance and one of them fails, will I be able to recover everything from the 2nd drive by loading it with a new HD or by itself?
 
RAID 0 stripes data across several disks. This results in very good read and write performance. However, failure of any 1 drive will lead to data loss

That may answer all your questions.

ie You may contemplate going to Raid 1 or above.

Some Googling (answers) to do I feel
