If I hooked two 250GB 32MB cache SATA II hard drives up in RAID 0, what kind of read and write speed performance would I see? Would the read write performance even be noticeable since the HDD is already SATA II with 32MB cache?

I mainly would like to see increased performance in opening large project files. I work with photoshop files that are sometime hundreds of MB in size and it seems to take them forever to open them in photoshop. Same with alot of other adobe projects I work on.

Lets say I had a 200MB psd file, in RAID 0 there would be 100MB on each disk, right? So instead of loading the full 200MB file from one disk, it would simultaneously load 100MB from each disk which could theoretically cut the load time in half, right? or am I way off?

Thanks
