RAID 0 gives you a disk throughput advantage (although not latency), but doubles the risk of data loss.

It is actually a little less than double your risk, but what is the failure rate HDDs these days?

Brings me back to statistics class, but either way the failure rate of a drive is >> 0, and it isn't just the hard drives. I have seen many reports of those onboard RAID controllers corrupting drives, because they are cheap and crappy.
And looking at the setup, it looks great. Using a higher RPM drive for the OS/application drive is a smart move, and will make your computer feel faster due to the lower latency. However with the 2nd drives bigger cache and I'm guessing higher throughput, I wouldn't be surprised if your database runs faster on it.
