RAID 0  by itself  should never be used.  Combined with other RAID 
levels, it can boost performance without sacrificing reliability.

Personally, I don't like RAID 0 + ? schemes because they use too many 
disks (with associated reliability issues).  The required performance 
usually can be achieved in other ways.  But YMMV.
