Question need help for future raid setup

ok so im stuck i cant decide what to do and i have been thinking for a while now

should i buy another 150gb raptor 180bux

or

buy 2 7200.11 500gb 32mb cache drives 80-90bux each

the raptors will have a faster seek time and storage space doesnt matter to me

now preferably i would like to c some benchmarks comparing the 2 setups so if anyone has a hdtach bench of 2 150gb raptors in raid or 2 7200.11 drives in raid if you could post your results would be appreciated

also any input is welcome

Get the 2 500 gig and set up a nice raid.And keep the raptor you have for anly games.

so im pretty close to buying the 2 7200.11's tonite sadly its cheaper than 1 more raptor lol 1000gb 150gb?

so im thinking maybe the 7200.11s will keep me happy untill a ssd is at a decent price

still would be nice to see some hdtach benches of the 2 types of raid configurations i wanna try
