One sector does NOT loose everything, and 99% of the time it doesnt loose anything. You forget the fact there is a massive ring of "spares" on all SCSI and most current ATA disks where "defective" or "marginal" sectors data is remapped to. this happens in the background, and without warning. Some disc's come out of the box with a dozen or more remapped sectors already.
True that, true that (except for crack ).

I was referring to data corruption beyond the loss of a sector, and I was not including SCSI, but specifically referring to SATA or IDE in Raid0.

I don't have time to make regular backups, so it's just not an option for me.
