Ok I'm going to be setting up a redundant array

I currently have a 1.5TB drive... its 900GB free so I'm not using much..

I wanna do a RAID array with 1TB or bigger drives, I want at least TWO drives for redundancy.

What are your suggestions?

I was thinking Two Spinpoint F3's and RAID 1 on ICH10R

Good plan?

Sounds like a solid idea to me.

I have the Spinpoint F3 500GB's, they are quite, fast, and run well

Why bother? You're not using your current capacity? I doubt you need the speed on your secondary drive. You have a fast main drive.

because i spread my data out over my computer's 3 HDDs and my servers massive array

If i had a RAID 1 array in here, I would load about 500GB on it instantly

4x (or more) Spinpoints, RAID-10, if you can afford it...

I can afford it... I don't need it

Two drives is peace of mind enough for me
