Yay for Raid 0 backup drives, twice the speed, and half the reliability!
 
Article makes it pretty clear that it's RAID 0/1, or JBOD so you can do what you wish with it. Also nothing wrong with RAID 0 in applications where data transfer speed is key. Just because it's an external drive doesn't automatically make it a backup drive.
