I'm thinking of setting this up. I've read the FAQ, but am not 100% clear on it.

Drive 1 is a Western Digital 320GB SATA-II, 16MB buffer, Everst gives not much other info.

Drive 2 is a Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 SATA 200822, 200GB, max internal data rate 683MBit/s, average seek 8.5ms, buffer-to-host data rate 150MB/s, buffer size 8MB, spin-up time 10 secs.

Is it advidable/easy to set up RAID0 using these?

What would be the noticeable advntages? I mostly play games, watch TV/videos, etc.

What would be my total capacity? As I understand it it's stripe width x smallest drive capacity, in my case 2 x 200GB = 400GB?

Thanks a lot.
