ReadyNAS doesn't have a mode that spans drives like the one you describe for dlink. It would be convenient, though of course you wouldn't be sure what data you'd lose if particular drive fails. Not sure how it would handle folders that are larger than a single drive.

As far as I can tell, it just fills up the drives in turn as you copy data to the single volume, so one drive failing will only take out the contents of that drive. Isn't there an option to do this in the ReadyNAS? I'll take security of my data over speed any day!
Anyway, as long as you know the implications of RAID-0 and have a solid backup strategy in place that takes those limitations into account, then you should be fine.
