It's time to raid! I have my 3 other 200GB Maxtor HD's on the way, and a 4 port SATA raid controller card. I am going to RAID them in 0, OMG i can't wait!!!

I'd put 2 in RAID 0 and leave one as a backup/archive/files drive...or possibly look into combo RAID, like 0+1

Enless your worried about data security...... no need for 0+1 or outright 1..

although if your board supports raid 5.. that'd be pretty slick... a small impact on preformce if raiding 4 drivers 0 made like... (minimal)... but all round data security. Sata being HOTSWAP able and a good RAID controller, it'll automatically rebuild the array if one or 2 drives fail....
