recommend new hdd
I'm thinking about adding a new hdd to my computer, and I'm stuck between two choices. I'm considering either getting a 80 gig serial ata drive, or another 36 gig raptor to go with the one i have. My main concern is which will be easier. If I do the raptor, I want to install a raid array. Reformatting and reinstalling windows is not a problem; I'm just wondering if anyone has run into problems doing this. Obviously, i won't do raid with a larger 7200rpm drive, but can this option be done by just plugging it in and formatting it from windows (esp with a sata drive)? Also, which would anyone else out there do? Thanks for suggestions.
PS system is in signature.

I'd get another Raptor for the speed if money is not a real issue, but not necessarily do RAID.
