I have been running my Raptors in Raid 0 as well, granted only 2 but have lost 2 drives in the past year as well. I agree that WD puts performance first on those drives..Unles of course you spend that nice 350 bucks for the 150 gig Raptor X raid drive, those are built for both.

I agree with both, smaller drives with an OS equals better performance and Windows not being able to move around so much.
I put Windows on my D drive and my programs on my C partition of my raid. This proves to be one of the fastest ways of programs starting up and such that I have seen.

Just my 2 cents..
