The Raid will kill bugs when they are within three inches from the motherboard.
Seriouly, It is IDE RAID, It advertised it will perform faster than SCSI, but you won't really see nor benefit much performance if you are not into audio/video editing. One of the reason to get the Raid version is to combine two 45gb+ hd into a 90gb+. In term of performance, Ex. an IBM 75GXP hard drive will have a sandra score of around 23000, est 7 sec average seek time. a Raid setup will get you 42000+ but only 8 sec avg seek time. In my opinion, If supersize hard drive space is not what you are looking for, then Raid is not good for you.
