Oh, and just for fun, for about the same price of 4 - 160gb Raid 0 Seagate Sata II drives, I could get a WD 150GB Raptor...

OK, I have about 400 Bucks for harddrives, I want atleast 400 GB of storage for that price. What are my options.
I was thinking,

All SATA II, 7200RPMs
Raid 0 250GB x 2
Raid 0 160GB x4
NoRaid 500GB x 1
Raid 0 200GB x 3


Other Thoughts, Note, Performance is what Im looking for as a BYPRODUCT, SPACE is the bigger issue.  Game installs + images + patches and exc, getting to the point where they are about 1-10GB is size.  And im not worried about if a drive fails, I have 1 Free HD recover from drivesavers.com so thats NOT and ISSUE...Fudge redundancy...

If I was running 1 500GB or 4 160GB both cases 1 dies, all data is lost.
