I would say WD Raptor but what will you use depends entirely on you !!!

Keep in mind that RAID 0 has no fault tolerance - one drive fails and you lose everything.

I would go with the maxtor. The performance is not that much less than the raptor to justify the raptors cost. Also you dont have to run the maxtor as a RAID drive. RAID uses two drives to make a copy of everything on the drives, and effectively cuts your useble hard drive space in half.

jay, you are referring to RAID 1, not RAID 0.

Jay - incase you were unsure.
RAID 0 = stripping (the data is spread between the two drives) w/ 2 drives RAID 1 = mirroring (one drive is a mirror of copy of the other) w/ 2 drives RAID 0+1 = striping/mirroring (benfits of both above) w/ 4 drives RAID 5 = stripping over 3 more drives RAID 10 = stripped config w/ RAID 1 (same fualt tolerance as RAID 1 and higher data transfer speeds) minimum of 4 drives |

s0z3, I'd go with the Maxtors, and not the RAID. Maxtor DiaMax 10 and Maxline III series are very fast 7200RPM drives that give the famous Raptor a run for the proverbial money, and they actually beat the Raptor in some benchmarks.
