Looking to build my new i7 system soon not much money left to spend.....well not enough for an SSD. 
What HDD setup would give me decent performance? I was thinking about buying a second drive, either another raptor 150GB (if cheap enough) or maybe a second WD 6400AAKS 640GB to use in a RAID setup. Or should I buy 2 new drives between 500GB-1TB as the tech has moved on. I will be running Windows 7 64bit on a GA X58A-UD7. One last question which RAID gives me the better performance speedwise with just two drives?
