I know, another RAID question, but I'm having a hard time finding out this particular question.

So, I have 2 WD Caviar Black 750GBs. I also have a ASUS A8N32-SLI Deluxe, overclocked Athlon X2 4200+ @ 2.75 and 4GB DDR OC'd to DDR500 (don't worry, quite stable) and currently have the drive setup to use the nforce4 RAID1.

I'm thinking of doing this and using the md software raid. XP installs not raided

sda1 sdb1 - md0 - raid1 - /boot - 256MB
sda2 ---- - XP64 - 20GB to 30GB (for gaming etc.)
---- sdb2 - NTFS - 20 to 30GB (for XP gaming etc.)
sda3 sdb3 - md1 - raid1 - / - 40GB
sda4 sdb4 - ext part
sda5 sdb5 - md2 - raid1 - swap - 4GB
sda6 sdb6 - md3 - raid1 - /home - 300GB
sda7 sdb7 - md4 - raid? - /extra - rest of disks

So the question is for md4, would it be ok to have this raid0? this will be mostly for media encoding, and other stuff I don't care if I lose. Is mixing raid0 and raid1 on the same set of disk OK?

Just a side question: Is it best to have the 'extra' as
/extra
/mnt/extra
/media/extra

Thanks
