Sata Raid

I searched the forums but couldn't find much information regarding SATA Raid from actual users. Those who use it, is there much of a performance degredation on your server?

I currently use Cpanel backing up to a secondary IDE drive, which bogs down the server every night. So I am looking for better alternatives. Plus raid offers the ability to just swap out the bad drive in minutes. Rather than doing a fresh install and restoring all accounts, which can cause hours of downtime.

Also, with raid, would it be good to also include a 3rd drive to put cpanel backups on, just in case the system was compromised?
