Baracuda IV vs WB300AB 2x RAID 0

[Guest]

which one is faster/better? Baracuda VI 60GB (ST360021A) or two WB300AB (30GB) in RAID 0 mode?
if WB300AB 2x RAID 0 is faster, is it worth to do it?
(if there is a tremendous difference in speed/performance but not pricy to do it)

You would probably want to read the other posts about the Seagate Baracuda in a RAID setup :::

I don't hardly believe Seagate's resoning behind it, but really have nothing else to go off of but these post's. I'm not even sure if anyone has tested this to see if it is true or not ...

At any rate, of the two drives that you listed you are probably going to get better results with the Western Digital.
