Depends, what do you use them for?
With large files they'd kick serious a$$, but for every day use they'll be just as fast, or maybe even slower than a single Raptor.

Cool cool Smile. Have to get those then.
Dont suppose you know if these drives have NCQ?? Read specs from a store and it said they dont have it but looked at reviews and said they do.
You know whether they do??

The 7200.12's (and all the recent Barracuda drives) have NCQ... PDF Specs.

With the speed of these drives, typical desktop use may be just fine with a single drive. Could get one bigger drive for less than two of these. But, if you want the computer nerd coolness of RAID 0, the price / specs are right with what you have picked.
