Computer did a Chkdsk when it booted up

I fired up the computer today and it immediately went into a chkdsk by itself. It went through 3 steps... deleted some files etc. and then eventually booted into Windows.

I've never seen that before, should I be concerned that my hard-drive (Raid 0) is about to buy the farm?
 
Just keep an eye out in the future and be sure to have backups of any important data that's stored on the RAID 0. Chkdsk isn't the definitive proof that the HDD might go kaput
 
Well, I have some Critical Events (Kernel-Power). But that was prior to the Chkdsk by a few days.

That could have caused some data corruption. I would run Memtest followed by a little prime 95. If all goes well there you may want to consider testing your hard drives with the manufacturer's utility.
