Actually you guys gave me an idea I hadn't considered, and I should have. A fast OS/boot drive and a bigger drive for files. Looking over my system, I'm using about 54 gigs of my drive, and there's alot of thing I could get rid of I don't rip movies or CDs really. Single drives have some stability too.
Plus, I'm now considering that I may replace my power supply (because I'm thinking that may be the reason I've lost 2 drives in 2 years) and I may buy an external backup drive. So laying out the financials of the whole thing, I may buy a single 74 gig raptor for my OS, keep the one drive in my IDE array that is working and use it to store all of my files, and buy a backup drive. That will give me a fast raptor SATA drive for my OS and games, a 100 gig IDE drive to hold files, a new power supply and an external drive. That way I can always later on buy a second raptor 74 gig and raid them (I have a SATA raid chip on my motherboard), or buy a bigger drive for files (though I honestly think 100 should be enough).
Thanks for the advice, I'm starting to come up with a plan now!
