Velociraptor 300gbx2 raid 0 vs velociraptor 600gb

[jeff1304]

Ok so im looking at trying to get more speed out of my hard drive part of my system and this will mostly be used for my games and i need atleast 600gb for my steam profile and other games and room to grow. so im curious what would be the best bang for my buck ? i am also looking at picking up another WD1001FALS 1TB to go with my current one and just putting them in raid 0.

If you are going with 2 1TB'ers in RAID for your games and such, why not go with a SSD instead of a V. Raptor? Or would you require the extra space provided by the raptor(s)?

well currently i have about 300gb in games alone. but i would like the best performance i can get without going ssd and not being too spendy.

well i know its not good to bump but i figured i would add a budget im looking at a max of $300.
