    Have a look at this video, if you want to know how to do it....
    That HDD is fine, and you won't really benefit much from RAID 0 (shown in the vid)..!!

    That video is very helpful, however I recommend you to get a hitachi, seagate or western digital drive, as they are more performance tuned than the toshiba and fujitsu drives.
