raid question

Hi all

I have the below drives.

2 x Western Digital Caviar SE16 250GB SATA-II 16MB Cache - OEM (WD2500AAKS)

1 X Western Digital Raptor 36GB 10000RPM SATA 16MB Cache - OEM (WD360ADFD)

Is it possible use the 2x 250 drives in raid and the raptor just for games?

The Raptor will be the better OS drive not just because of its 10k but its Lower Seek.

The Seek on the 7.2K HDD's is Higher and more so if you Raid them.

ditch the raptor, buy another 250GB HDD and setup RAID 5
