get one more and you can get 0+1

i dont think you can raid 3 hard drives in 0 but not sure,

also keep in mind when you do this you have a greater chance of corrupting your information i was hoping to find a raid that you Can use to raid 0 your 10000rpm's and raid 1 your 7200 but not sure if it can be done

I would put the raptors in raid 0 and just use your other drive for data storage

You can RAID an odd amount of hard drives, and yes he could do that, except perf won't be better than a single raptor.
