New build, I've got some 36GB SATA Raptors laying around and I'm thinking...

MainBoard: GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3R P45 775 R
Processor: Intel E8400 Dual Core DUO
Memory..: GSK Dual Channel 4GB 8500L5D memory kit

As I said, I've got 2 36GB 10K SATA Raptors kicking around as well as a couple of 500GB WD SATA Storage drives. I'm thinking why not a striped array on the Raptors to run OS, Mydocs and some other stuff and use the 500GB for MP3s, Vids, etc. I was also thinking install the second 500GB, but not in an array, rather just as another drive and setting up Acronis to backup the main storage to the other 500GB every other day or so. (I'd rather not run them mirrored b/c of speed) Thoughts?
