I tried to set up RAID1 and RAID0 with the 1TB version
of the Green
drives you are listing and they simply didn't work well. A lot of
these Green Series drives park the heads quite quickly (to save power)
but unfortunately this causes them to wear out faster. They are I
think generally better suited for machines that aren't on all the time
or in heavy use. Watch your SMART data if you go that way.
Why 2 drives by the way? One for the system and the second for audio?
Note that these RAID drives do tend to be a bit more noisy, but not
terribly, and may consume more power so you'll likely need to do a bit
more noise control than with the green drives.
One drive for / and /home, one for backup and audio
The plan was not to go for RAID, but wait till the SSD gets cheaper...
I have no experience with RAID...
