about to place order

[snowdog]

Hello,
as the title says im about to place my order for 2 Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 250GB SATA2 16MB 7200RPM hdd's, my question is how reliable are they becouse i'm plannign to use them in RAID 0 mode.
I dont care about noise only about reliability and speed.
Anyone had any bad experiences with them or are they working 100%?
Also what will the performance be compared to my wd caviar ata-100 250 gb?

Thanks in advance

So far mine has been excellent! Good performance increase (that i've noticed personally over my old ata setup).

I don't RAID my drives so can't help with reliability but they can't be anyworse than other makes, besides, they do have a 5yr Warranty.

True about warranty, but if one dies, i lose data on both hdd's, so cant affort any errors on either hdd's...
Btw i wont be replacing my old hdd's, but i just want to know how much difference there would be performance wise if i'd config my new hdd's for swapfile, big games like bf2, etc...

I could offcourse just buy one 300 gb seagate and raid it with my maxtor 300gb, but then again my maxtor is dieing i think and if it dies itll take all the data on the seagate with it, just dont trust it, also had bad experiences in past with seagates, 2 of 3 i ever owned in my personal pc died, so i just want to be 100% sure they're ok now, as a lot of ppl recommend seagates these days...
