I have some HDD questions.

[Ages120]

Well I was gonna get a WD Raptor. I wanted that drive a lot but hey 2 80 gigs and a dvd burner for the price of one 74 gig raptor is a lot more appealing. Well first things first. Which one of these should I get
Seagate 80GB 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive

Maxtor 80GB 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive
http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=22-144-318&depa=0
I will look around for some reviews but it never hurts to ask. I also wanna know if I could get some links to some good guides explain Raid 0 and 10.

I don't have time to look in depth - but it looks like they're both FDB (fluid dynamic bearings). Figure out which one has fewer platters - and go with that one.
