I'm building a new pc and was wondering which of these drives is better, I don't care about value for money so much as performance.

I heard the 750gb model is faster due to something about the way its platter is arranged (verticle something or other)? Is this true, or do both the 750 and 500 use the same technology and therefore provide the same performance.

The thing is, I don't mind installing 2 hds, and I could probably get 2x 500gb drives for not too much more than 1 x 750. But I won't be setting up raid0, so if the 750 is faster I'd rather have that one.
 
Ah thanks for the quick response, how hard is raid0 to set up? The mobo I want is the abit IX38 quadgt, can I use the on board raid controller or would you recommend I get a dedicated card?

Thanks in advance, having read a little more about the speed of raid0 its tempting to get 2x 750gb for maximum speed.
