I like having different volumes. I put the system on one, files on another... that should work faster than striping the system and the files across two drives. Not only that, but what about taking precautions against drive failure? I like to put files on one drive, then copy to another drive each night. If I can no longer do that, wont I lose data when a drive fails?
I would think that you could still have separate "volumes". For example, you could group two drives into volume A, and three drives into volume B, etc. Not just sucking every available drive into one virtual disk (unless you wanted it to).
