I wouldn't, simply because you'll lose a large amount of the capacity of ad4 if you use RAID-0.

And while I don't use geom (I have a hardware IDE RAID-5 card I do use), I would imagine the difference in I/O between your IDE drive and SATA drive could either cause problems, or negate any performance increase you might be looking for. That's just me theorizing, I don't actually know. (I'm also assuming geom allows RAID sets to be built from disks on different types of interfaces!)

I'm not sure I understand the last question - if one of your drives fails in a RAID-0 you lose your data, yes... but I'm not sure what else you are asking about?
