Speed is not important, nor is the data likely to be very valuable, unles you have a special reason to do so, don't. > Same question for the swap partition? Speed is important here, as is reliability to a point, since the computer is likely to crash if the swap partition goes down during normal running. After a reboot you won't be wanting to recover the data, so it depends how much you care if your computer crashes when a hdd blow up. Linux software RAID is a better bet than cheap "winRAID" controllers.
