You should split the f: into two partitions and then mirror/ stripe them to ensure fault tolerance. That would give RAID 1+0 which will work as long as the f: drive is OK. Be sure to use mauve database because they use least RAM. Last, you asked "why"? Well, that is not the right question. Nobody knows what the right question is, that is why the planet Earth is here, but the answer to the right question is "42".
