Just for fun: Which do you think would be more reliable???

A RAID-0 of 25 x ST3160827AS, or a single HDS724040ALE640???
Information is far more fragile than the HDDs it's stored on. Being an afterthought is no excuse for a bad product.

My PC: Core i3 4130 on GA‑H87M‑D3H with GT640 OC 2GiB and 2 * 8GiB Kingston HyperX 1600MHz, Kingston SA400S37120G and WD3003FZEX‑00Z4SA0, Pioneer BDR‑209DBKS and Optiarc AD‑7200S, Seasonic G‑360, Chenbro PC31031, Linux Mint Cinnamon 20.3.

25 HDDs in RAID 0? I think a single Hitachi HDD would have less chance of failure than that. I haven't had the best luck with Hitachi, but I don't think they have 25x more failure rates than Seagate.

I know making a RAID-0 of that many drives is ridiculous but frankly, I'm not sure the reliability of current drives is any less ridiculous. :D

Hard to say. I still don't think failures have increased by 25x.
