Don't do it. Your risk of losing data to a drive failure doubles for
a pretty small performance gain. If you are relying on an on-board
controller for the RAID, you are also at risk due to failure of the
mainboard or the controller. Maybe not a big deal today but it will
you will regret it if you have to find an identical or compatible set
of hardware in two years time.
