You don't need to put aside a TB of space, because no one will ever use it. Lets all get an account and email ourselves a large pic a few hundred times untill we have a TB and then sue them when they get angry!!!11!!one!!!1337!!!

That is incorrect. RAID 0 offers the combined space and a performance increase.
