But with LVM, you can group multiple disks into a single volume

What happens if one disk dies?

You lose the whole shootin' match. If you need that kind of protection, you need to look at RAID, and either do RAID 5, or mirroring.

OR: Don't group multiple disks together.

Yes, you can use LVM & RAID together. With LVM on RAID 5 you eliminate the problem.
