That was my interpretation of your comment, but I'm still not sure I follow. In my understanding, by using RAID 0, any single disk failure will brick a node. Each node would then have 3 disks that are ticking time bombs (multiplying the failure rate by 3). How is that more reliable?
In RAID 5, I can have 1 disk failure on a node with no problem. 2 disk failures on the same node, and I only lose 1 node of my 12 node cluster (I.E. cluster is fine). I can also theoretically lose 12 (1 on each node) + 2*(RF-1) disks, and gracefully repair the situation with 0 interruption.
What's the benefit of RAID 0 other than increased usable disk space and perhaps write performance? It seems you're decreasing reliability significantly for those gains.
