I haven't used RAID due to the costs of buying a couple of drives (unless I'm running a mission-critical business server that's up 24/7) and I felt it's a bit much of an overkill when instead I could regularly hook up an external drive to back up data on a periodic basis.
I'm not sure about recent Samsung drives (I have an older 80gb drive from 2005 and still in working condition) but as always keep checking the reviews; it might be good as the established Seagate and WD brands.
