I think RAID 0 is pretty popular these days, it may not be all it's cracked up to be but if set up right, 2 hard drives working in tandem has to have some speed advantage. So I'm saying if your going raid 0 than you go with 2 raptors. The Whole idea is to be faster so, two raptors is faster than one raptor, two 7200 rpm plain vanillas are faster than one. If you really want to kick butt, you can always get a 320 MPS 64 bit SCSI Ultra320 card and a pair of 15000 rpm Ultra320 SCSI Cheetahs HD's, set em in a Raid 0. Now, the Raptors are "mamma's boys".
