RAID 101

so basically in words is not having those 2 hard-drives combined into a C: or something?

raid is supposed to be like a life saver but i've heard that if one drive fails you lose all datas on both drives?

That's RAID 0. It gives a boost in performance with the ever so lingering possibility that you can lose everything if one of the drives fails. Other RAID options exist.

He can still use RAID with the two Seagates and then use the Maxtor as a backup. That is assuming he has RAID on his motherboard or a RAID card.
