Raid 0 questions

Hello all. Just pondering over a possilbe hdd upgrade for my rig.

With a raid 0 config, would the volume be the two hdds combined, so 2x 250 drives would be 500gb?

Also, can you set one drive to store a backup of all data of the raid 0 drives?

and last but not least, would this be too taxing on the mobo or cpu etc

cheers

Thanks for the answers. I think the only thing stopping me going solid state is just the price. I want at least 500gb of storage, and my mobo doesn't support 6gb/s, so It be a bit wasted.

Thanks for the answers all, I might go for a SSD with windows on it and a few other things, then keep the crap on my hdd.

Any pointers when looking for a ssd?
