well....heres a good reason why.... from pczone pricelist i downloaded from hardwarezone.com.my
1TB WD10000KS 3GBps SATAII 16MB - RM990/pc
* space u get.. 1TB..performance... like normal SATA II HDD la...
500GB WD5000KS 3GBps SATAII - RM375/pc (buy 2 pieces)
* space u get 1TB...setup RAID0 and performance almost equals a Raptor. total spent RM750 total saved RM240.
if u buy the new Seagate 7200.11 500GB it costs RM445 (x2=890) and still save RM100. the 7200.11 alone already supposed to be very fast. imagine if 2 of those in RAID0

sadly my 320gb are 7200.10. the 7200.11 doesnt come with 320gb.
i dun need any bigger and i dun wanna spend the money for any bigger...the 2 HDDs i bought are to replace dying HDDs in seperate rigs. just wanna try RAID0 while i still have 2 new HDDs.

Honestly I been thinking of getting another Seagate 500GB 7200.11 32MB Cache NCQ for RAID-0, but well... I doesn't need that huge amount of space yet. Currently I'm suffering crash problem with my system. I wonder it is my OS corrupted or the HDD is faulty itself. Praying hard it isn't the HDD, else I'll need to sacrifice some time and money to make a trip to LYP for exchange or RMA purpose

*touch wood*.
BTW, your current 320GB running on
SATA IDE or
AHCI mode?

You still got floppy disk drive with you to install the SATA driver? My FDD kaputed long ago and I didn't bother to replace till now I'm looking for one to install driver only

. Else I'm gonna try Slipsteam the SATA driver into the WinXP BootDisc.
BTW, that cheaper WD 500GB GreenPower is actually a low performance HDD. Not much deal if used for storage, but system will be otherwise
