well, i'm not sure from a hardware standpoint, but i know you could swing it in Windows as a Software RAID. The only catch there is that you already have to have windows installed on a Partition first for this to work. It seems kind of odd. it's almost like a RAID 10 (1+0), but not quite. I don't really know. there's only one way to find out for sure. another thing you might consider is RAID 5. that's a stripe with parity. if, for the sake of argument, you had THREE 150GB Raptors, you could have one of those drives as parity. basically you could rebuild if any one of your drives failed, but not 2. With 3 Raptor 150s you would have a total of 300GB of Available space.
