RAID 0 with SSDs are actually quite clever...again, there are no moving parts. I don't see where it is more probable for one of a pair of drives to fail than it is for your one and only drive to fail.

The vast majority of laptops in use today have one single drive (with a bunch of moving parts) and we don't see all of them falling out of the sky, so to speak.
