I believe i need to upgrade my harddrive to speed up my computer. With my two 1TB WD green drives i have plenty of storage but i fear my 500mb WD blue drive which i have all software installed on may be slowing me down.
I plan on upgrading to SandyBridge 2600k later this year or early next year.
I have never used Raid 0 or SSD or a Velociraptor. So im not really sure what i should buy.
Newegg is selling my current blue drive for only $39.99 which i could put into a Raid 0 and see a significant performance boost for cheap?

OR
Newegg is selling a 1TB WD Black for $79.99 with coupon perhaps this is a better than 2 older blues in Raid 0? Maybe I should buy two of these and put them in Raid 0?
