Both HDD's are fried, Any hdd suggestions

Well since my most recent incodent caused both of my hdd to fry, ive decided to get some advice from here. I had a 750 gb and a 250 gb hdd so i would like atleast 1 tb of hdd space from these new ones. Anyone got any suggeestions? I was thinking of doing a raid 0 setup with [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136218]these[/url] hdd's. And also would raid 0 work on my mobo, im assuming it does. ThanksBoth HDD's are fried, Any hdd suggestions
RAID0 is not a particularly good idea. It doubles (or more) your chances of failure. Its not really worth the risk imo, but thats up to you. Even if you don't care about your data, its still a pain to redo everything (os etc, unless you leep an up2date image somewhere)Both HDD's are fried, Any hdd suggestions
Does it put extra stress on them, or is it just cause theres 2 instead of 1? And anyone else have anymore suggestions?thx.
The talk about ''doubling'' the risk of failure is really made out to be more than it is. If 1/100000 hard drives fail, then by using RAID0 you have the risk of 1/50000 instead of 1/100000.However, there honestly isn't a justifiable increase in speed with RAID0. If you want speed, you are better off getting a single WD Raptor drive. (300GB Raptor going for around 300 bucks)

Sorta like how buying 2 lottery tickets will increase the chances of you winning.........just not by much.
HDs fail all the time, and are probably the most unreliable thing in a PC. Just not worth the risk imo for not much(or any) real performance gain.
I have a budget of about $200 for hdd's, i want alot of space and a reasonable amount of speed...i just figured id do raid 0 to combine them into escentially 1 drive and was hoping for 1.2 tb...or should i just buy one 1 tb seagate drive for $150?
