As it comes to a goal of performance optimization, the closest you would come is networking. It'd be more practical to use a server board with multiple sockets for assembling a system with tons of cores, gobs of memory and oodles of storage.
If the goal is backup or resiliency to failure, no such thing. In principle you could buy a second of the board and keep it in a closet but there will likely never be a need to use it.
In RAID, it's not the drives themselves that you're trying to preserve but the data on them (depending on the RAID level used). A mirrored RAID array keeps at least one copy of all data in case a single drive fails. There's no corresponding threat in case of a mobo failure (assuming no other parts were damaged) - just replace it and everything else is ok.
