Also, while RAID0 reduces the MTBF, it's not linear. Drive life is not magically shortened as a result of the drive being in a RAID array (if you take care to isolate synchronous vibration). The life of the array is equal to the shortest drive life. In other words, if a drive would have failed after 25,000 hours in standalone operation, it will still fail in 25,000 hours in an array. The other drives may run to 100,000 hours, but it's a "weakest link" failure mode.
It's a good introductory text for learning Python. However programming is a very small part of Computer Science.
