What would be faster?

Ok thanks, im still deciding on a Raptor or two seagate drives?
I will be doing mostly Gaming and Video Encoding and writing to DVDs.
Im getting a ASUS P5B-deluxe along with a E6600 and that particular motherboard can have a matrix Raid setup.
If i set up two hard disk in a RAID-0 setup and one hard disk fails i will most likely lose both data on both of the hard disks.
But in RAID-1 setup both hard disks have a duplicated image of each other right?
And then the Maxtrix Raid setup?
Out of the three what would you suggest?
And also what about one Raptor and one Seagate in either of the 3 setups possibly RAID 1 and matrix.?
One more thing, sorry, if i get the Raptor when would i start noticing a difference in speed because im filling it up how many GBs eg 100GB, 110GB etc...
thanks

Ok Thanks, if i go with one Raptor and then say one Seagate for games and stuff.
Ill install the O/S on the Raptor and then the games on the Seagate drive.
Is their any special way to install game straight onto the Seagate drive, for instance when installing a game it asks me to pick a directory then i will have to change it to install on a Seagate hard disk or can i setup something up so it knows to install it already on that particular hard drive. (Seagate)
Also what about losing performance and speed on a single raptor how much of the drive would i have to fill till i start seeing a performance and speed decrease?
