well im guessing but if you are doing raid i would think the transfer rate would be more important. if you are only doing one harddrive i would say the lower seek times would be better.
For a given capacity, the fewer platters a drive has, the more densely the data is stored, and as a result, the sequential transfer rates will be significantly higher. Go for the single.
