I'm taking a look at a pair of these 160 GB drives right now, since that'd give me ~300 GB of useable space, which is plenty of room for me. I'm just looking for two fast and small HDDs that are also of decent quality, and would give me good benefits by putting a pair of them in RAID 0. How do these Western Digital drives look? Any other recommendations?

Thanks!
