my current drive config consists of 2 150g seagate raid0 with just the os and programs on that config with 2 1 tb seagate sata drives, ~$170 each at fry's, for storage.

i back those up on multiple 300g seagate externals that stay offline
as i said, three discs with raid 5 will be faster and more reliable.
