You can do RAID 1 RAID 0 is no redundancy, just striping, strictly performance, good for scratch disks. High performance tho.
RAID 1 is mirrored drivers, bad write performance, very good read. RAID 5 is common, which is 3 or more drives which is striped with parity. Not a good performer anyway you look at it, but the trade off is more space, redundancy, and cost. RAID 10 is a combination of 1 and 0. must have at least 4 drives, and must always be in multiples of two. You get good performance, and good reliability, but you have a lot of drives to deal with. There are other RAID levels, but are generally unused. I've seen RAID 6 which is like RAID 5 but you can have more parity disks.
