2 X Drive RAID 0 Setup | Whats Drives?

I think that in most situations a single 640GB WD would feel just as fast as two 320s in RAID. I have the 640GB and it's much, much faster than my old 7200.10, where the WD 320s aren't supposed to be very impressive.
 
Thanks Guys! Lol, now i'm torn between the 1TB WD and the 640 WD. As mentioned above, the 1 TB price wise is unbeatable!!!!!
 
I apologise for bringing up an old thread, but I was wondering if any other 3200AAK owners have recently experienced repeated RAID1 (or any other) failures on their drives?

My pair ran like a dream for almost two and a half years (since around easter 2008), but then I regularly needed the Intel Matrix program to restore a working image to one drive or the other.

This week, things took a turn for the worse, whereby one drive has a "non-raid" status and cannot be restored by the Intel software in Vista-64 on my MSI x48c Platinum motherboard.

The PC is basically a games machine and internet browser, I simply used the RAID0 as some insurance cover against a drive failure. Would you agree its time to buy a new drive, even a new pair?
If so, is ~£50 on a SDD a viable option these days (I've dropped horribly out of the pc loop in the last 18 months and I might be very ambitious even thinking that solid state has become this affordable, given I currently use 200GB of storage)?

I think £100 is a more viable option for a small OS drive. I've been using the C300 for a few months now and it's awesome.
