The general consensuses from people on the list (from what I have seen
previously) is no, you won't see any noticeable gains and would be better
using all of the space as separate disks for recordings.

The mysql database however, may benefit from being stored on a separate
disc at least.  My stuff is all of the same disc, but my usage of myth is
small, compared to some people on the list.

Did you mean RAID1 by the way, which is just a mirror?  Or did you mean
RAID0, which is striped.

Cheers
