I recently had a RAID failure on my machine. Fortunately I had most of my data backed up so I deleted the faulty RAID configuration, created a new one and reinstalled Windows. Everything's back to normal now but I was just wondering if I can expect the same thing to happen again in the near future. Is it likely that the disk is damaged?

One last question what kind of drives are you using to do the raid? – NetworkKingPin – 2016-04-13T08:45:34.823
2 1TB SATA drives – Shazoo – 2016-04-13T08:51:19.177
Be careful when doing RAID 0, @Shazoo. This particular array has no redundancy, so make sure you always do regular backups. As for the HDDs' health and SMART status, I'd strongly recommend you to use their manufacturer's diagnostic tool to monitor their state. (Use the hyperlink, if they are WD, otherwise search for this tool on the manufacturer's official website) It'd be even better if you create a bootable flash drive with the DOS version. Good luck. Keep us posted with the results
